Antiqued Pink Jewelry Box with Faux Mercury Glass Door

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.

Everything looks prettier in pink don't you think?

This cute little wooden jewelry box needed some personality. First step, clean all surfaces well. Bring on the Fusion Mineral Paint in the lovely English rose.

It is such a soft petal pink. This is one coat. In order not to sand thru the original finish it is easiest to wet distress the edges soon after painting after each coat to let the original dark stain peek thru.

Two coats were the coverage needed and once dry all was lightly sanded with Fusion Mineral Paint's ageing wax added to the edges to give the antiqued look.

One step to go. Here are the latest rich navy blue and soft damask jewelry boxes and the vintage farmhouse coffee table tutorials.

Now to finish the glass. I went with my favorite faux mercury glass look (using vinegar & spray paint) that blends so well with the antiqued vintage look.
