Hi Everybody,
I visited my daughter over the weekend and I said in conversation that I was going to start going to the Car Boot sales and looking for items that I can alter
I said I was looking in particular for old Jewelry boxes that I can alter into something really pretty

And would you believe this is what she was throwing away because the hinges at the top are broken and the lid won't close properly.
My little eyes lit up when she said ... "You can have this if you want it " ... do I want it !!!
Now I ask you which Crafter wouldn't want this little treasure ????
It's gorgeous and oh what I am going to do to this.
It stands about 11" tall and has pewter handles and knobs

The mirror in the lid is in tact and all the linings in the cupboards and drawers are there and will need cleaning.
The cupboards have holders for chains and necklaces and the bottom drawer has a ring slots in it.
The top drawer doesn't open but under the lid there are compartments for earrings.

So I am going to take all the hinges off it and strip it all back to create something really lovely ..... and then..... she will want it back again ..... NO Chance
As I progress with this I will show you the stages it goes through and at the moment I have all sorts of ideas whizzing around my head.

Love it. I threw mine away years ago and now I wish I would have kept it. Looking forward to watching the transformation.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what and more importantly how you go with this. I have a box almost identical to this. It was bought for me by my late father, so it has special memories, however it doesn't "fit" with the decor of my room anymore. This could be my answer....
ReplyDeleteI have the exact same jewellery box, and can't wait to see what you do to it.
