Stenciled Solid Oak Jewelry Box Or Remote Holder

Vintage Art Deco China Cabinet Restore

This Art Deco waterfall china cabinet, circa 1940, had seen better days. Tucked away in a shop and used as a storage shelf, it was in rough shape. A family member, inspired by a photo featuring rich navy tones and warm wood, wanted to see it brought back to life. With that vision in mind, I gave the piece the repairs and makeover it deserved — blending classic navy with warm wood to honor both its history and a fresh new style.

Jewelry boxes make the perfect storage boxes for remotes, keys, memory tickets and so much more.

This solid oak jewelry box was missing its removable shelf but that will not stop it from having a functional future.

The lined open area is the perfect storage spot for so many things.

Step 1 - remove the hardware and clean well.

Now to paint! I chose House & Canvas paint in angora white for this and a super sweet dough bowl.

Both projects were painted two coats of this beautiful warm white color.

When dry, the edges were lightly sanded to distress back to reveal the original wood finish.

The top needed something to jazz it up. This quadrefoil stencil from Dixie Belle Paint was perfect paired with Fusion Mineral Paint vintage gold metallic paint chosen to go with the hardware.
