This jewelry box relove in classic navy blue and gold makes me smile.
When I found it in pieces on the shelf at Value Village I was not totally sure it could be saved but eventually I found all the pieces and brought it home.
Above I balanced everything in place to show what the original box looked like.
Then all was taken apart, cleaned well with
Simple Green cleaner and a damp cloth then the repairs started.
Luckily as a
hoarder.. spare parts rescuer ;) I had a few super tiny screws to secure the lid hinge. And with small
clamps and my
Titebond
glue , glued all parts where they go and left to dry.
The antique gold hardware needed a classic color so I chose
Plaster Paint's paris; a rich navy blue. The can I have has an old label, it was used on a project a few years back and is still just as perfect in consistency and color. This paint is thicker then some paints, see how the stir stick stands alone?
the original projects in paris
I used a
1"chip brush to apply 2 coats smoothly on. This paint has a nice self leveling finish.
I have linked items I use on my projects via my Amazon affiliate for your convenience. Rest assured there is no pressure to purchase nor is there any increase in price using my links. It is only meant to share what products I find useful.
