Farmhouse Inspired Green Milk Painted Jewelry Box

Green and Floral Round Tray Makeover

This round tray has been completely reimagined. Its original shabby chic white finish has been updated to a rich dark green, and a delicate floral rice paper adds a touch of elegance. A final layer of dark wax deepens the colour and accentuates the details, giving it a beautifully aged, vintage feel.

A recent trip to the thrift store had me bringing these home, I did the pepper grinder in a modern black and the 2 jewelry boxes in the same color but different finish. (see the small trunk finished in dark wax here)

I chose Homestead House Milk Paint in Laurentien for this jewelry box too, I used it recently on these farmhouse stools too.

Two coats were applied and let dry then sponge sanded to distress (above right). Milk paint usually distresses easily and looks very authentic. To seal the milk paint, I applied Fusion Mineral Paint clear wax then I applied Fusion Mineral Paint ageing wax to age it further to the perfect farmhouse style look.
