Pink Carved Trinket Box

Classic Black Antique China Cabinet

Does anyone have china dishes anymore? Is it still a thing? Years ago, when I got married, it was all about picking your china pattern and creating a gift registry for the pieces you needed. My pattern was called Chelsea by Royal Doulton, and it was a soft muted floral.

I LOVE hand carved wooden boxes. This sweet little box and the hand carved floral design called for a special color, pink came to mind.

I am so excited to have pretty pink milk paint in my arsenal. This is Palm Springs pink from Fusion Milk Paint.

Milk paint is easy to mix 1:1 powder to water in the amount you need for the project.

Brush the milk paint on; I love the 1" Fusion Chip Brush and allow to dry. Milk paint dries super fast making a project quicker to create.

Two coats gave the perfect coverage I wanted. Lightly sand the paint smooth and distress the edges for a vintage look.

To seal my milk paint I chose clear Fusion Furniture Wax. Look at the lovely sheen the wax adds! To give further dimension the ageing color of Fusion Furniture Wax was added to the carved areas and edges.
