Jewelry Box Makeovers

A Super Simple Black Jewelry Box Makeover

Pin
Share

Another day… another jewelry box makeover!  I bought this old wooden box last year and don’t even remember where or how much I paid for it.  I really need to start taking notes when I go shopping so I can give you that info.  I know it wasn’t much because I have a $7.00 cap for jewelry boxes.  I’m gonna guess that it was $4.99 or $5.99.  It was a good size and in good condition.  Just kinda blah…  but I turned it into a beautiful black jewelry box!

Black Jewelry Box Makeover

This was a super simple thrift store makeover!  First, I cleaned all the dust off the wooden box with some all purpose cleaner and a rag.  Since I used a chalky finish paint it didn’t require ANY sanding!  This is my lazy painter secret — DecoArt Chalky Finish paint.  I used Relic for this project.  Here’s what it looked like after two coats:

I thought it was a little harsh so I sanded down the edges a bit.  I like the “Restoration Hardware” look of the black distressed paint!

After distressing the paint I wiped off all the dust and applied a coat of varnish.  Then I added some gold Rub n’ Buff to the handles.

I didn’t plan this but the black jewelry box fits perfectly in my end table that I painted with chalk paint mix!  It’s probably not going to hold jewelry for a while.

Let me know what you think about the black paint.  This is the first project I’ve shared with this color but I do have a few more.  Plus I have black paint leftover and need to use it on something else!

    I love it – I painted mine black years ago and I think it needs a little something. maybe I will distress the edges and give it a coat of wax or varnish, then pretty up the handles. It’s very similar to yours!

    Wow, looks like that box will really come in handy there in your end table! You gave it a nice makeover too. Really love the distressing on it.

    My first time visiting your blog and oh how I’m amazed by this project and the neat new home you’ve found for it. I love it when something fits perfectly in a new place!
    I used to be a “when in doubt, paint it white” but Paint It Black has crept into my world lately. Having said that, right now a revamped jewellery box is sitting a few yards away from me and I painted the a sludgy soft khaki colour with Valspar and it’s so pretty.
    So pleased I’ve found your blog. Off to read more!
    Hugs, x.

    Turned out beautiful. I used to have an end table just like yours and never knew what to place in that awkward cubby. Your jewelry box fits perfectly.
