I found this beat up, in need of a makeover, silverware chest for $2.00 at a garage sale.
While in rough shape, it was structurally sound and solid wood, so I figured I could jazz it up with a little paint.
I applied a couple coats of cream craft paint, highly distressed it and epoxied a vintage rhinestone brooch to the front. Now I just need to replacing the inside fabric lining.
I’ll be using it as my catch all junk drawer box.

And junk never looked so good, Trixie! That turned out great! So much better than what it was. I love the embellishment you added, too.
wow that turned out great~ Marla
Trixie, that is so cool! You did a great job. I've seen those too, and never saw the possibilities. Now, I'll keep my eye out for one to play with. It could be lined with scrapbook papers or pretty fabrics...

Cute, cute! I love it! I have one sitting in my basement that I picked up at a garage sale too and I really like the "highly distressed" look!

Very good buy and great transformation!!!!
Everything you do is magical!
I really like this idea--I have some old silverware boxes--although none as cool as the one you found.
I love IT! I just purchased one similar complete with old silver. It too is in need of a "makeover". I've been contemplating just how to do it until today!!! Thanks for the inspiration. Rhonda
