Pink and gold with Moroccan inspired stencil give this vintage jewelry box a glamorous update!
This is the before, the one door plastic has yellowed while the other was completely missing.
Inside a necklace carousel was missing but the rest seemed in very good condition just needing a good cleaning as always.
I removed the age
d door plastic and mini screws. Inside I removed the existing necklace carousel and
door magnet. The entire box was then wiped well with Dixie
Belle white lightening cleaner I mix in a spray bottle and a damp cloth. Wipe with fresh water and rag.
The old blond wood is easily covered with this brush and paint in just one coat.
Perfection, such a soft pretty shade of pink.
I wanted to add some glamour and the door design seemed to give me Moroccan vibes so I chose the Dixie Belle
Morocco stencil.
The box was flipped upside down and the "ceiling" area that had been painted was addressed.
The carousel was screwed back in place then pilot holes were drilled for cup hooks to replace the missing one.
New gold cup hooks were screwed in providing more necklace storage.
All the way around the sides and top.
But wait there is more gold to add ...
To the door and body edges as well as the wee door pulls using gol
d Dixie Belle Gilding Wax with the best tool; my finger.
