CUREiously Pink Recipe Box Charity Auction

Refinished Solid Oak Queen Headboard – Classic Black with Rattan & Elegant Details

This stunning queen-size headboard is a true statement piece, crafted from solid oak and beautifully refinished in a rich, classic black. It features gracefully curving finials, intricate oval cartouche accents, and a striking inset rattan panel that adds texture and timeless appeal. Finished with a smooth satin clear coat for durability and a subtle sheen, this headboard blends traditional charm with modern sophistication.

A very good friend gave me this cute little wooden recipe box one of her daughters painted her as a child. She hoped I could give it a new look.

With Fusion Mineral Paint's new limited release color called CUREiously, with $1 for each can sold going to cancer research, I knew it would completely transform it. I also knew I wanted to auction it off with ALL PROCEEDS going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Step one was to take off the solid brass RECIPE and lid

and power sand the entire wood box smooth and polish the brass.

Two coats of Fusion Mineral Paint CUREiously pink went on.

I like to age my pieces for a fun farmhouse feel, sanding the edges to reveal the wood underneath does just that then the edges are sealed with Fusion's ageing wax .

And the recipe box is complete, with a totally new look. I auctioned it off with the entire highest bid going to the Canadian Cancer Society as well as I offered free shipping anywhere in Canada. I was so happy to have it sell for $50, thank you Shelley C and thank you Fusion for the fun color.
