Such a pretty update for this jumbo jewelry box!
Vintage wooden jewelry box with LOADS of storage and style.
The ring holder side needed to be reglued and straightened, easy enough with wood glue, clamps and some thin boards for support.
Now for a good cleaning, I like to use this spray on cleaner from Cottage Paint. Just look at the grunge that came off in the first swipe!
It is the perfect refresher color for the update.
The paint glides on so smooth you can even paint with your non dominant hand easily ;)
However there may have been a few times I might have attempted to dip my brush in the wrong container !! (job hazard)
Two coats of linen white were hand painted on and left to dry well.
Using a sponge sander, it was sanded smooth with further distressing on the edges to give a rustic farmhouse feel.
To keep the rustic look, dark wax was added, perfect!
Just look at all the storage.
