After and before.. a vintage jewelry chest is made-over in the customers favorite color: yellow and given an antiqued finish.
She says she loves yellow as it is a sign of hope and happiness!
These are such gorgeous wooden jewelry boxes.
It has a sweet personalized engraved note too.
The yellow chosen was Creme Brule (no longer available but bees knees is close) from
Country Chic
Paint; above the first coat went on, don't worry a second coat will make it much more opaque.
Here is 2 coats, much better. The customer wanted it to feel aged and antiqued so the edges were wet distressed and a coat of clear wax was applied all over and buffed in
The bold red velour interior pops with the yellow don't you think?

What a great chest, so interesting. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletethanks for the kind words Anita ;)
DeleteGorgeous makeover! I'd like a jewelry box like that!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I love when pieces can be given an update for many more years of use. :)
DeleteIt looks really good. I would have never thought to use yellow. I have so many flatware boxes waiting for a new life. I may have to try this. I do have Need Knees and I haven't even opened it yet. Thanks for the inspiration.
