French Provincial Nightstand Modern Makeover

This nightstand is part of a charming French Provincial style bedroom set originally crafted by  Malcolm Furniture  here in Canada years ago. One of my valued customers entrusted me with giving this piece a fresh, updated look. She envisions the entire set transformed into a soothing medium grey, perfectly complementing her new home's décor. Given the nightstand's beautiful, solid construction, it was an easy and rewarding decision to invest in revitalizing this quality piece, ensuring it continues to bring beauty and functionality to its new setting.

Custom Purple Jewelry Box



This worn dated jewelry box needed an update, hello Fusion Mineral Paint.
I had a wee amount of the Pantone Color 2018 Purple from this custom growth ruler I did.
Using Fusion's recipe and 3 colors, this pretty purple was created.


One coat covered this smooth surface perfectly then the entire box was distressed to reveal the original color. 

To add more dimension, Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax  was rubbed around the edges which also seals the distressed edges too.

To update the etched glass top, it was treated with Krylon Looking Glass spray to give it a faux mercury glass look. I love doing this with vintage jewelry boxes, see it used here on other jewelry boxes with popular pink and more pink and a fun French frame in ash
