Jewelry Cabinet with Missing Knob

This jewelry cabinet with missing knob wasn’t in such good shape when I found it.  Stained, dirty, and missing a handle, it was cheap enough for me to buy it anyway and try out a few new things.

Jewelry Cabinet with Missing Knob Makeover

First, I bought this wood filler, filled in the hole, let it dry, and replaced the missing knob with one that I bought in a bag of hardware at a flea market.  I decided to only replace one knob.  The drawers were interchangeable so I displayed it with the different knob in the middle drawer.  That gave it a little balance.

Then I gave it a couple of coats of my homemade chalk paint, distressed it and finished it off with a coat of polycrylic.

To cover the stains inside I used some of my huge stash of scrapbook papers.  I found some that had a blue color that came very close to matching the turquoise paint I used.

I cut the scrapbook paper to fit the sides and drawers, sprayed adhesive on the back, and smoothed them down.

Then I replaced the glass door inserts with hardware cloth  that I stapled.
