Farmhouse Inspired Green Milk Painted Jewelry Box

Soft Neutral Shades Media Cabinet

Fresh Start for a Veneer Classic This manufactured media cabinet—with its once orange-tinged wood veneer—has been completely refreshed in a soft, neutral taupe called French Villa . Inside the glass-front doors, the adjustable shelf pops in Truffle , a beautifully rich and earthy shade from a newly released palette. The warm, complementary colors work together to give this piece a stylish, modern update and a brand new lease on life.

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.
