Here you can see the "before" jewelry box. I liked the shape but the rose design didn't necessarily fit my room's aesthetic. There was also a sticky spot on the top interior, so I knew I wanted to cover that somehow. 
First I painted the entire box off-white, I had to paint on three coats before the wood was totally covered. Then I stamped on little gold and tan polka dots. Last I added similar color fringe to the interior (covering that sticky spot) using tissue paper and craft glue. Due to all the base coats of paint, this ended up being a two-day project. But it was super fun and I'm really excited to have a jewelry box that perfectly fits in with my bedroom decor! xo. emma

That’s a really cute restyle! I don’t think I’d ever think of repainting an old jewelry box. I love the gold 🙂
Love and Turtledoves,

Tooo cute! I love the fringes in the place of the mirror! Hearts, Janna lynn
What a super simple fix up! Sometimes the best crafts are the easiest~* I wonder if it would work on a cardboard gift box? I have a lovely one that I was given over the holidays, but the colors don’t quite match– I think I’ll break out the paints and see how it goes!

That turned out really cute! (though the rose motif original is right down my ally, lol). I really like the colours you used. Well done. Am enjoying watching your newfound craftiness so far!

it looks excellent emma! did you prime it with a gesso or something? how did you make sure you didn’t get paint inside it? asks little miss messy me. also did you have to keep the lid open, & let it dry overnight? i’m just full of annoying questions today.
Very simple and elegant, and with all the thrift shops around, one is sure to find the perfect jewelry box to paint!
You are so creative and talented! I am almost positive that if I tried this it would be a hot mess ;0)
Happy Friday!
