I was asked to redo this jewelry box/ mirror combo and make it fabulous.
My favorite is the jewelry box. I love how the little windows turned out. I decorated and cut paper to fit, adhered with matte gel medium to the top of the glass, then filled in the panes with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic. It dries to a cool glass like dimensional finish. Love it! The knob… I am not sure. I always pick them up at thrift stores or salvage them from other projects. This one is a lovely pistachio color. Yum.
For the sides of the jewelry box, I stamped some dressmaker pattern paper, wrinkled it up and adhered it with matte gel. After that was dry, I did an antique white wash over the sides. The painted parts are off antique white. I roughed up the edges of the wood to give a distressed look. The back, I painted with glimmery turquoise.
Same story for the mirror. The horizontal flat part above the drawers is covered with scrapbook paper, which I doodled and stamped upon, then dressmaker pattern paper again. I am currenlty obsessed with the stuff. You can find it super cheap at your local thrift stores, and it is so fun to collage with! Here is a cool collage technique video that inspired me during this project.
To finish up, I sealed the pieces with Polycrylic by Minwax. This is wonderful for shine, protection and durability.
Lovin’ the knobs. I hope you love this, Angel!
