Teal Jewelry Box for my Daughter

Favorite Combo Custom Painted Antique Dresser

A valued customer entrusted me with restoring an antique dresser she found online. It was in much rougher shape than advertised when she picked it up, but I believe I transformed it to match her vision. With its classic warm white finish and a darker stained top, it now has the timeless charm she envisioned.

My daughter finally chose the color she wanted her birthday jewelry box painted. She chose renfrew blue from Fusion Mineral Paint

When I purchased it, it has an engraved plaque screwed to the top. This was removed and the holes filled with wood filler followed by a good cleaning with Simple Green cleaner
and a damp cloth.

She wanted the brass hardware to remain so all was taped off if not removable.

Now it is all ready to be painted.

Two coats of renfrew blue were brushed on then lightly distressed to reveal the lovely original wood finish on the edges.

In keeping with the antiqued age look, FusionMineral Paint's ageing wax was added.

New felt feet were added to the bottom and this beauty is ready to serve and store for years to come. The gorgeous color looks perfect in my daughters new home too.
