Bombay Keepsake Box in Shades of Grey

Autumn Floral Wooden Box

Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning Dixie Belle transfer looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

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.
