Bombay Keepsake Box in Shades of Grey

Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

This solidly built chest is made by Bombay and was originally a tea chest that sold for $129!!

It had a few dings that were lightly sanded then all surfaces were cleaned well

I just love the size and density of this wee Fusion brush

I used it to apply Fusion Mineral Paint little lamb over the entire outside surface including the hardware careful to leave the inner edges clean and original.

A wash of Old Fashioned Milk Paint in pitch black was applied and the entire piece distressed to reveal more of the original finish thru the layers of paint.

To deepen and enrich the colors further, Fusion's black furniture wax was hand rubbed all over.

This beautiful chest is perfect to set on your coffee table with mementos like concert tickets, or healing stones or in your boudoir to catch all your sparkly jewels, or masculine enough for your man to display his watch collection.
