I bought a storage/jewelry box awhile back with the intention of giving it a makeover for my daughter. I found this box at target in the clearance aisle. Here is the before.
It’s a simple box with lid, but the colors they offered were too bright. I decided to make it over with colors matching my daughters nursery; coral & grey.
First step was to tape off the section where I wanted to add a subtle contrast.
Then I got my paint out and mixed a Lowes Valspar sample with some white paint to lighten it up.
On to painting… I started with the base.
Then I painted the top. I probably added 2 full coats with 1 extra round of touch ups.
Next the fun part, stenciling; at least I thought this before I did it! I think I found this stencil at Hobby Lobby. I taped it down where I wanted the pattern.
Here’s the after, as you can see it got a little messy in some areas.
I touched this up by hand. Here’s it cleaned up, so much better!
After I finished the box, I moved on to prepping the contrast area. As you can see its still lime, this was previously taped off earlier.
Now its a pretty coral.
Well that’s it! Hopefully she’ll keep for many years to come.
I love the transformation don’t you?
Till next time… Enjoy!
