My Ten Favorite Jewelry Cabinet Makeovers
I’ll start with number 10 and work my way up to my very favorite thrift store jewelry cabinet makeover for this year.
10: A Rounded Side White Jewelry Cabinet
Sometimes simple white is the best choice!
9: Tall Pink Jewelry Cabinet
Y’all know I’m not really a pink kinda girl… but I love the way the blue floral scrapbook paper accented this pink jewelry cabinet makeover.
8: Light Blue Jewelry Cabinet
Here’s one of the ways I handle a stained jewelry cabinet…
7: Turquoise Jewelry Cabinet with White Drawers
This was the year of two-tone jewelry cabinets! Turquoise and white was my favorite color combo… of course!
6 – Jewelry Cabinet with Decoupaged Drawers
Here’s another two-toned makeover. This time with gray.
5 – Red Jewelry Box with Stencil
This was a surprise. At one point during the makeover, I hated this color. But when it was all finished it turned out to be one of my favorites!
4 – The Biggest Jewelry Cabinet I’ve Painted
This was the largest jewelry cabinet I’ve ever found at a thrift store. It needed a little work but it turned out beautiful!
3 – Blue Jewelry Cabinet with Scrapbook Paper
I tried using up my scrapbook paper stash this year, too. I still have a LOT left!!!
2 – Turquoise Jewelry Cabinet with Ikat Decoupage
And… we’re back to turquoise for the top two makeovers.
1 – Another Turquoise and White Upcycled Jewelry Cabinet
Yeah… I still love turquoise! I usually prefer jewelry cabinets with glass doors. But this simple one turned out amazing and is this year’s #1 jewelry cabinet makeover!

These are some amazing jewelry cabinet makeovers. You should do mines, they’re in need of fixing also lol. How long have you been doing this type of stuff for?

Thanks, David, I’ve been painting old jewelry cabinets for about 7 years now. I never get tired of them!

Well, due to your posts, I’ve acquired a couple of jewelry boxes to upcycle but haven’t gotten to them yet. Need a rainy day, I guess!

Hope you have lots of fun painting them!

YOU HAVE SOME NICE IDEAS, HOWEVER, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER DOING SOME IN A COLOR OTHERTHAN ALL IN SHADES OF BLUE. NOT MY FAVORITE COLOR!
Emily Joyner says
Enjoyed seeing your work! Plan to do jewelry boxes!!
Deborah A Sayers says
Your jewelry boxes are so cute, i bet they sell really well., i have seen them many times in thift stores.
Donna Crowley says
Are most of the little knobs glued in or screwed in? I have a jewelry box and the inside fabric is great. I can’t feel anything through the fabric. So if they are glued in, how do I remove them?
Thanks for any advice – I can only hope that my project turns out somewhat as awesome as yours!
ducttapeanddenim says
I’ve found that most handles are screwed in and most knobs are just glued in. I can usually wiggle them around until I get them loose. Then I’ll pull them out with pliers. Have fun with your makeover!
Daphne H. says
These are some of the most beautiful jewelry boxes I have ever seen. I have been buying the ones I have found at thrift stores to redo. Right now I am laid up in bed after a major surgery on my left heel. You have inspired me to start my first jewelry box makeovers tomorrow! Can’t wait!
ducttapeanddenim says
I’m sorry to hear that you’re in bed but I am excited that you’re going to start jewelry box makeovers!
Sharon says
I have my mom’s old jewelry box and some of her old jewelry. I made a Christmas tree last year for our daughter with a lot of the earrings and broaches. I would love to redo the box but I need to get the “old” smell out first. Any idea how to do that? Thanks.
ducttapeanddenim says
That’s a wonderful way to use your mom’s jewelry! I think for the smell I would try leaving it open out in the sun first. If that doesn’t work you could try sprinkling baking soda or kitty litter in it, leaving for a few days, and then vacuuming out. I’ve also heard of people using those little silicon packets or activated charcoal. I haven’t tried those.
