Refinished Solid Oak Queen Headboard – Classic Black with Rattan & Elegant Details

This stunning queen-size headboard is a true statement piece, crafted from solid oak and beautifully refinished in a rich, classic black. It features gracefully curving finials, intricate oval cartouche accents, and a striking inset rattan panel that adds texture and timeless appeal. Finished with a smooth satin clear coat for durability and a subtle sheen, this headboard blends traditional charm with modern sophistication.

Cherry Blossom Pink Jewelry Box


Seeing the Japanese cherry blossoms in full bloom is on my bucket list. But seeing it is a ways away I decided to add these pretty flowers to a jewelry box project.

I paired them with a soft pale pink and gold base.


A friend offered me her daughters jewelry chest to get a makeover and of course I said yes.


It has a great design and lots of storage, just worn after years of use.


Hardware and glass in the doors was removed, it was cleaned well and a coat of Dixie Belle silk paint in conch was brushed on all sides. Two coats went on.


Now to decide what parts of the cherry blossom DixieBelle transfer to use.


Cut out, place and burnish to the surface.


I added them around the sides, inside on the drawer fronts. To seal them in place clear Dixie Belle's best dang wax was brushed on using a Dixie Belle La Petite brush; my dedicated wax brush.


All the grey lining was loose so it was glued and clamped in place.


Using a wee artist brush, Dixie Belle Metallic Moonshine paint in steel magnolia was added to the edges and crevices.

Then the edges were lightly distressed to add character and definition.

The mirror was cleaned as hardware was put back on and the glass in doors and I added a few more transfers to the mirror too.
