Hi friends, I hope you’re having a great week! I’ve been busy working on TWO furniture makeovers, and you may have seen sneak peeks of them if you follow me on Instagram. Today though I’m sharing a quick makeover I did on a wooden trinket box. I picked this up at a yard sale last fall not really knowing what I would do with it, but I knew I could turn it into something more stylish.
I decided to update it similar to my Organizer Makeover last year (which was my most popular DIY project of 2013). I painted it black and luckily I had just enough scrapbook paper leftover from the other makeover.
I didn’t want it plain black, so I added some decoupage. I cut the paper and used Mod Podge to glue the pieces on the top and sides.
It’s so stylish now for a chic Frenchy bedroom or even in a foyer. I also think it looks good on my recent French Typography table makeover. 😉
It was really so simple and only took an hour or two (with drying time).
Do you have any similar trinket boxes begging for a makeover?

Love it, especially the way you covered the top. Is that cardstock?
Jen says
Thank you Sandi! It’s not cardstock, it’s just scrapbook paper. 🙂
