Recently I found two very similar jewelry cabinets at different thrift stores. You’ll see the other rounded jewelry cabinet makeover later this week. I gave them two very different paint finishes so they looked even less alike after their makeover. This one had a few rough corners and some stains on the inside. So don’t ever pass on a jewelry cabinet or box if it’s stained inside. There are ways to make it look like new. Here’s what this one looked like BEFORE I took the white chalky finish paint to it!

Supplies for White Chalky Finish Paint Jewelry Cabinet Makeover
- Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint, white
- Americana Decor varnish
- paint brush (I like this paint brush for jewelry cabinets.)
- Canvas Corp Brands Tissuestock, French Script
- DecoArt Decou-page decoupage glue, matte
I gave this jewelry cabinet a couple of coats of white chalky finish paint then let it dry completely before finishing it off with a coat of varnish. That’s all there was so the paint job. I didn’t remove the handles like I sometimes do since the heart handles are the kind that are hard for me to remove.

Some of the felt inside was a little stained. So I cut tissuestock to fit the areas, painted on a thin layer of decoupage glue, smoothed the tissue on, then completed with another thin layer of decoupage glue. I thought the French script added an elegant touch.
And here’s the completed project. Usually I distress them a little but when I saw it solid white I thought I’d mix things up and leave it like this. What do you think? I guess someone like it, since it sold quickly at Paris Flea Market! I think I had a $30.00 price tag on it.
Makeover stats:
- Purchased from Goodwill for $6.99
- Sold at Paris Flea Market for $30.00

Is it possible to do the Finnish you had on the jewelry cabinet in kitchen cabinets ?
Cathy, I’ve never painted kitchen cabinets with chalk paint but I have heard of people who did it with good results. You’ll just want to make sure you finish it with a couple coats of varnish so that the paint won’t continue to rub off.
Wow! You’ve done a terrific job. Thanks for sharing at Over the Moon. We look forward to seeing you again next week.
Such a sweet project. love your inspiration and it’s transformation. Thank you for sharing at DI&DI.
Very elegant looking!
