Does this jewelry cabinet look familiar? I painted it a couple of years ago and decided I didn’t like the color anymore… I wanted a RED jewelry cabinet for the Christmas season.

Supplies Used on My Red Jewelry Cabinet

- DecoArt Metallic Lustre Wax, Silver Spark

I had a couple of friends over on that painting day. One of them gave this the first coat for me. I have to say that when I first saw it I hated it! WAY too bright for me. What do you think?
Well, I was ready to throw it out but my other friend talked me into going on. She gave it another coat. After she left and the paint was dry I decided to give it a bit more character by stenciling the sides of the drawers. Then I aged it a bit by adding some burnt umber paint to the finish I was going to use.
This is the first time I used Triple Thick Gloss Glaze. It lived up to its name… it’s THICK. And it gave the project a super hard shiny coat.
I wanted the handles to stand out even more so I highlighted them with some Metallic Lustre. I brushed it on, then dry brushed silver highlights all over the jewelry cabinet.
Here’s what the stencil looked like on the back.

At least it isn’t turquoise. Not my color at all.

I love it! At first when I seen the red I thought that it was too bright as well. But after the stenciling, the metallic Lustre, and the burnt umber it turned out beautiful. I never would of tried red myself but I love it!
