DIY French Styled Jewellery Box...

From THIS...

 To THIS!

Using chalk paint.

A beautiful bird decoupage paper.

 And some brushed metal knobs!

 After removing the old wooden knobs, I sanded back the old paint

 The box and drawers were painted in Annie Sloan's Duck Egg' blue chalk paint.

 Once the paint was dry I measured a piece of this pretty decoupage paper 
and mod podged (glued) it to the top of the box.

Then I painted a layer of Mod Podge over the top of the paper to protect it.

The wood was waxed.
And the shiny new knobs screwed on.
Quite a transformation - 
from that unkind green colour to duck egg blue sweetness.
