Sister Jewelry Boxes in Pink & Purple

Classic Black Antique China Cabinet

Does anyone have china dishes anymore? Is it still a thing? Years ago, when I got married, it was all about picking your china pattern and creating a gift registry for the pieces you needed. My pattern was called Chelsea by Royal Doulton, and it was a soft muted floral.

A great customer brought these 2 "matching" jewelry boxes for her sweet little girls.

One wanted pink and the other purple.

Both boxes were cleaned well for good paint adherence then all hardware and swinging doors removed. This makes all areas easily accessible to paint perfectly.

I chose Fusion Mineral Paint's English rose for the pink one. Even though the wood was light it took 3 coats to get the coverage I wanted. A light sponge sanding smoothed all the painted areas. I then added Fusion's rose gold wax to give it some sparkle.

For the purple one, the customer chose Cottage paint in passion fruit, a deep rich purple. Again this color required 3 coats to get the perfect color. Again, a light sponge sand smoothed the paint. To seal it I used Fusion's pearl wax. Look at the difference it makes giving just the prettiest of shimmer to the purple color.

All hardware was put back on, the mirrors cleaned to a sparkle, the lined drawers, sides and cubbies cleaned and the doors put back on and they were complete.
