Just sold this on etsy. Thought you would like to see how I upcycled an old jewelry box. This was a furniture store giveaway in the early 40's and 50's. When you purchased a Lane Cedar Chest, they would give away this miniature version as a jewelry box or letter holder. I updated this one by painting it white and distressing it heavily. A coat of wax came next. Then the 2 wooden appliques were added stained and highlighted with aqua paint. The metal cherish plate was then applied and the key was updated with a jute tassel. Inside was decoupaged with vintage style music scrapbook paper. Thought it turned out cute and thought if I run across one of these again, I'd like to do another one. Simple process. You would enjoy it.
