Jewelry Cabinet Makeovers

This is My Least Favorite Jewelry Cabinet Makeover EVER!

This jewelry cabinet makeover is a good example of how people’s tastes differ.  My daughter had some leftover chalk paint (I’ll give you a link but don’t want to share the name here ’cause I ended up not liking it at all.) so she passed it along to me to use on one of my thrift store jewelry cabinets.  Here’s what it looked like before I painted it and turned it into a green jewelry cabinet.

Green Jewelry Cabinet Makeover

This jewelry cabinet was clean and sturdy with a wild 70s color fabric inside.

I gave it a couple of coats of this chalk paint.  I’m not going to share the name here because I didn’t like it at all but I think a big part of that might be the color.  When the paint dried I distressed it with some sandpaper and applied a coat of Minwax polycrylic.

I really couldn’t stand the way it turned out.

It looks almost white here but it’s got a slight green tint.

But, wouldn’t you know, I took it to Treasure Island Flea to display some jewelry and this was the FIRST THING I SOLD that day!  The buyer was thrilled.  And I was thrilled to see it go.

So, my story had a good ending.  And someday I may even give this brand of paint another try.

    I think I need to stop passing over these jewelry boxes at the thrift store. Great job!

      Yes! You can usually find a bargain and it’s fun to work on them. Like furniture but a much smaller scale!

    Coincidentally, I just bought two repainted jewelry cabinets at an= yard sale this weekend and hadn’t ever seen them repainted until then and now with your site. 🙂 I’ll be surfing around to see what treasures are on here. 🙂

    How much do you usually ask for these Ann? If you don’t mind my asking…I was wondering b/c one I recently sold on Etsy took a long time to sell. I was wondering if I was asking too much.

      I usually charge $25-35. But I noticed the ones on Etsy are a lot higher. I wondered about that. But I do earn some ad revenue when I post them on my blog & I don’t have room to store them for long plus I just enjoy doing them… so I’m ok with selling them a little lower. Have you only sold one? Do you have any more listed now?
