I’ve had this jewelry armoire for several years now. My husband bought it for me for Christmas one year and it was the closest thing I could find {for a reasonable amount of money} with that cream color.
I never really cared for the flowers and their color didn’t go with either of our master bedrooms. Since I had the can of Old White open painting tables recently, I took that opportunity to give it a refresh. Plus, seeing a couple of painted jewelry armoires on Pinterest gave me the push to just do it.
I painted the drawers in Old White and the surround in Duck Egg. You may {or may not} know that I painted a Craig’s List find dresser in Duck Egg with Old White in some of the detailing.
Then I painted an accent table with the same colors to tie it into the room.
The jewelry armoire is on the opposite side of the room from the table and I thought that besides refreshing it, it would also help bring some of the Duck Egg color over to that side of the room. I love the two-tone color scheme. Because the hardware was not removable, I had painted over them. I came back in when it was all done and used some Antique Gold Rub N Buff on them.
Some clear and dark wax {FYI: do the Rub N Buff after you wax}. Now I feel it fits in better with the rest of the room.
It certainly wasn’t a project I needed to add to my list at this point, but I’m glad I got it done.

Hi Kathy, Wow it turned out gorgeous. I love it and looks like it was part of your furniture collection. Wonderful new look. So much better then the flowers.
I have one similar in wood tone and painted it black, but now I am inspired to change it up again.

I really love it! That is such a great shade of blue. You completely transformed that piece. I like how it matches the other pieces in your room.
Beautiful, Kathy...what a nice transformation. I'm sure it was still hard to cover up the lovely artwork, though!
I'm finally back to posting, not quite ready to do it daily but, I hope you can stop by for an update on our move. Hope you had a great day yesterday and that we will be keeping in touch...I have a lot of catching up to do!

It coordinates so well with everything now. You did a great job. I love all of your furniture transformations in your bedroom.
Wow it turned out great and all those pieces look lovely together!
The jewelry armoire looks wonderful, and perfect with the other furniture. I want to paint a small end table two colors, but am having a hard time figuring out which parts to paint which color.
Fabulous job on all of the pieces!! They are beautiful!

Huge improvement. I love the new look and you brought it into the 21st century. I do love that chalk paint covers just about anything.
So pretty, Kathy! That color is just gorgeous. That little bit of metallic gold with the rub and buff was the perfect touch!
Gorgeous redo Kathy!~ Looks like and entirely different piece. I am loving that color combo too! Have a great day Kathy.
