French Provincial Nightstand Modern Makeover

This nightstand is part of a charming French Provincial style bedroom set originally crafted by  Malcolm Furniture  here in Canada years ago. One of my valued customers entrusted me with giving this piece a fresh, updated look. She envisions the entire set transformed into a soothing medium grey, perfectly complementing her new home's décor. Given the nightstand's beautiful, solid construction, it was an easy and rewarding decision to invest in revitalizing this quality piece, ensuring it continues to bring beauty and functionality to its new setting.

Sunflowers and Lemonade Jewelry Box

 

Soft sunny yellow always seems so cheery as do sunflowers so I used both on my latest jewelry box creation.


This vintage wooden cutie needs a change up, first step was a good cleaning with a bottle of pre mixed Dixie Belle white lightening cleaner and a cloth then wiped with fresh water. The inside was vacuumed well too.


The soft sunny yellow I chose from Dixie Belle Paint was called lemonade.


It gave a vintage vibe to the wooden jewelry box. Three coats were brushed on.


Everything was then smoothed using a fine (blue) RAD pad by SurfPrep.


This pad was also perfect to lightly distress the edges to keep the vintage feel. The paint was then sealed with clear Dixie Belle's best dang wax.


The sunflower DixieBelle transfers were cut out and moved around the box to find placement.


Then applied using the applicator stick.

The bold yellow interior and gold door grating compliments the soft yellow sunflower exterior.




Speaking of lemonade I made some fermented lemonade at the same time.
