Antiqued Pink Jewelry Box with Faux Mercury Glass Door

Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

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.
