As I promised last week on White Wednesday, here is a before and after of one of the projects that I worked on a couple of weeks ago.
The File Box
"Ribbon and Lace"
First thing to go were the handles. But still could not make up my mind, first I chose these depression glass but as you will see at the end I decided on clear glass handles.
Lucky me my Deano sprayed everything Opal white for me. This Opal white is " Eggshell Opal White from Glidden"
By using a Black Patina I dipped all the metal parts in it and wiped clean to give the antique look.
Then I changed my mind and painted the outside of the box a antique pink.
Not liking the green knobs I changed them for
the clear glass knobs.
"Ribbons"
"Lace"

This is beautiful! Love that you shared your process!
ReplyDeleteGood decision on the cear knobs. I love it! And ribbons and lace are a girl's best friend.
ReplyDeleteI love the drawers! They are one of my favorite things - old drawers, old boxes and old wood. You really did a nice job, the pink is perfect and the finishing touches are those metal tags with the Italian labels. Too cute!
