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.

White Decoupaged Jewelry Box

 


With classic aged farmhouse white you can't go wrong, right?


I purchased this jewelry box in a package deal of 10. The seller did not want to continue painting jewelry boxes so big score for me. You can see the baby blue one top right made over HERE.



It came painted by the seller in a light grey but the finish had been scratched in storage so needed a refresh. After a good cleaning, I chose Dixie Belle Paint in my favorite drop cloth; a classic warm white.


One coat covered the box perfectly.


Then everything was distressed and sanded using a Dixie Belle sanding sponge


All was waxed in clear Dixie Belle's best dang wax then their brown wax was added. You can see the difference it makes on the top drawer compared to just clear on bottom.


The decoupaged glass was put back in and everything dark waxed.


The last step is to be sure the interior has all paint dust and any other fluff removed. The inside is vacuumed with a pointy connector end then I like to use lint roller sheets. They pick up everything; just tear off a sheet, place on the lining surfaces and lift. Then the mirror is cleaned spotless.


And the update is complete.
