Last week when I found this gorgeous gold thingy for only $4.00 at Goodwill, I snatched it up faster than you can say "What the heck is that?" & dreamt of this transformation all the way home. Then, I gave you all this sneak peek last Friday & asked for your take on its past life.
Here's a little reminder of how she looked when we first met.
Well, I still don't know for sure what it was, but I do know what it is now: My New Fabulous Jewelry Cabinet.
Here she is in her new home in my closet.
The makeover process included a can of white gloss spray paint, a couple of thin pieces of wood cut to size & covered with exactly $5 worth of this truly divine Candice Olson $50-a-yard fabric that I got on sale, & a few little screw-in hooks. That's it, Y'all!
Every girl needs one of these fabulous whatchamacallits...and if I ever find another one, I'll let you know.

It's amazing what spray paint can do! I have to be honest Julie, I'm not sure I would have picked that up and taken it home, but you had a great vision and look what it is now! Adorable! Oh, and isn't Candice Olson just "Divine"? Love her!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I would have totally passed that at the Goodwill, but what you did with it is amazing. Super cute!

After seeing what you did here, I am praying that God will direct me to one of these that I can use as a jewelry cabinet. I think you've done a fantastic job with it. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWow! Wonderful makeover!!!
ReplyDeleteI found one of these at a junk store last year. I bought it and put it in storage with the rest of my 'treasures'. LOL I have been planning on getting to it one day and now you have really inspired me. I love your blog and I just starting following. Whenever I re-do mine, I will let you know. Thanks. Come by sometimes.
ReplyDeleteWow!! That is awesome! I want one! :)

ReplyDeleteI think your watchamacalit is beautiful. I am still looking for the perfect watchmacalit for all my jewelry. Doubt I will find one of these, however once again inspiration, that I can turn just about anything into the perfect jewelry organizer. Thanks Julie!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! You really turned this into something both pretty and practical.
ReplyDeleteLove it! White is SOOOOOO much better than that nasty gold/brass! What a great idea to turn it into a jewelry box! BTW, visiting from CSI!
