Jewelry Box Makeover


Last April I bought several jewelry boxes on clearance. 90% off clearance! I've been wanting to make them over for a while. I finally got around to it. 

This is was so easy and made a huge difference in the look of the jewelry box. 
Here's look at the before:
I taped off the glass doors and unscrewed the handles. Then I spray painted it. It is the same color as my sewing table. Rustoleum Painter's Touch French Lilac in Satin. I love their double coverage paint. There's no need for primer, even with this dark wood. 

Here's the other one I did at the same time. The knobs on this one didn't come off, so I just painted them too.

What do I have inside these jewelry boxes? Not jewelry, but scrapbooking supplies! 
You can see I didn't bother with the inside. You don't see it unless you open it and that would have been too much work to tape everything off.

I think these jewelry boxes are a great new addition to my craft room. What do you think?

  5. I have been wanting to redo another jewelry box (I redid one here: http://sheekgeek.org/2013/jessicasheekgeek/jewelry-box-makeover-personalized-gift) but I don't need another jewelry box. Now, a place to store craft stuff, that I do need! Genius idea!
