This is the oldest item on my list. A vintage oak jewelry box.
I ,of course, forgot to take before pictures.
I started by painting the box with milk paint. Then I didn't know what to do after that. So I told the dogs to get off of my lap and I just held it and turned it over till something struck me. Finally it did. I ripped out all of the felt and decided to paint the inside and make it a box.
I bought paint pens and wrote the saying on the box. That didn't work well. I hadn't put wax on yet so the milk kept clogging the paint pen. I sanded it off and painted, then waxed and did it all again.
I purchased new felt lining from Amazon. It was put in today.
My goal was a unisex box that could hold memories. I think I got it.
