JEWELLERY BOX MAKEOVER
7 Materials
1 Hour
Easy
View materials (7)
When my grandma passed away I kept her jewellery box. I have the nicest memories
of it from when I was little; I always used to go up to her bedroom and sit
there looking at the jewellery inside. I had been planning to do something with
it for a while and this month marked 7 years since she passed and so I figured
now was the perfect time to transform it!
This is a picture of my current jewellery storage. I made this earring hanger
years ago from a frame and some cotton lace ribbon and it has served its purpose
well. But it’s time for a change and I wanted something more simple to go with
this updated room.
This is the before photo. I’m actually glad I waited to redo it because
initially I was going to paint it Tiffany Blue. I’m obsessed with that colour
but had I done it back then it probably wouldn’t have suited my space now. So
instead I decided to strip it back to wood and then add a white wax.
I removed the finish with my detail sander.
Once the majority of the finish was removed I used a sanding pad to remove any
remaining finish in the details of the box.
I love the look of the raw wood underneath and to make it a bit more muted and
take away any orange tones I applied a white wax.
I made this by mixing together one part white chalk paint and four parts clear
wax.
I applied this and instead of wiping off the excess with a lint free cloth right
away I left it on there until dry. Previously I have wiped it right away but
this seemed to take away too much wax.
I left for a few days and then buffed well with a lint free cloth.
However, I then decided that it looked too thick on the top part so I took some
steel wool and rubbed away the wax until I was happier with the finish. This
left a much more subtle look and worked so well to tone it down a bit.
This left a much more subtle look and worked so well to tone it down a bit.
The final look! I love what a difference it has made to the tone of the wood but
also that it was such a simple transformation.
This look hasn’t taken away from the original piece but updated it. I love the
lime-washed look and remove a little more wax at a later date but for now I’ll
sit with it like this for a while and decide.
I will continue to treasure this piece and I’m so glad I can have it out on
display to look at and enjoy the memories of it now.
I hope that this project inspired you and shows that it is possible to keep the
character of heirlooms while updating them to fit in with your home!
