Pine jewellery box upcycle

We found this adorable handmade pine jewellery box on Ebay. Originally made in Yorkshire.

We started by applying two thick coats of the very pretty pinky-lilac Annie Sloan Henrietta. It was a very warm day, so the paint thickened quickly without water.

We added one coat of Annie Sloan Lem Lem to the exterior, excluding the drawers. Once dry we applied clear wax and carefully sanded to distress. Followed by a final application of clear wax. To finish the look we painted the handles rose gold. Gorgeous!
