| We inherited this box from my hubby's Grandpa. My mother in law brought a whole load of stuff home from his house in Ohio a while back thinking I might want some of it. You don't have to ask me twice! This was one of the goodies. I cleaned it up really good with murphy oil soup, and this was as good as I could get it to look. It's had a home on my dresser housing my hair accessories and collection of lip glosses. It still is, however with the new bedroom makeover, this just couldn't stay "as is"! |
 |
| Oh my word am I excited about this. LISTEN UP. I found a whole bin of curtain rod finials at Bed, Bath, and Beyond for 50 cents each. Hmmm.... drawer pulls?!!! I crossed my fingers (because I didn't need any finials) and bought up about twenty packs. Go big or go home, yo. If they worked, that would make them TWENTY FIVE CENTS a pull!!!! Can you get any cheaper than that?!? |
 |
| They worked! Yippeeee!!!!! Don't they look great? I painted the flatware box coral and sanded some of the edges for a little shabbiness. Then my mom called me up yesterday and said she saw my post on the dresser and it looked like it had a big ole' plain coral box perched on it and needed something more. I scratched my head (for ideas, not because the lice was biting) and came up with this stencil that I had made awhile back. It was just the perfect finish. Wouldn't ya say? |
 |
| This houses most of my hair necessities, color for my lashes, and make up to cover up the zits that I'm still getting at |

This is a beautiful repurpose Kammy. I love the color you used for your "girlie" accessories and the stencil adds a nice graphic. Ha - I still get the occasional zits at "29" too!!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great and what a deal you got from BB&B on the finials, I mean drawer pulls. They look great on your accessory box. Love the before & after of the whole project.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea on the finials/drawer pulls! I would never have thought of that. Your dresser is even more beautiful now that it is white. Well done. God bless x
ReplyDeleteBefore I saw the after picture, I thought maybe you were going to use the finials as legs. Looks really good, Kammy.
ReplyDeleteLove this, great color. Bythewayjenngray.blogspot.com

XO, Aimee
Oh my! What a fantastic makeover! I'll have to keep an eye out for an old flatware box like that. It looks like a fun project and I'm sure I could fill it up in no time! Thanks for the inspiration :)
ReplyDeleteThis is SO pretty! I adore this color and the way you transformed this piece -- and those finials and pulls -- genius!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great piece! Vintage silverware boxes are so great for everyday storage. It turned out so pretty. It reminds me of a box I transformed: http://www.thediyspot.com/2011/11/out-of-the-box/ I think they might just be related:)
ReplyDeleteLooks great! What a nice transformation.
