Jewelry Cabinet Redone to Delight my Daughter

 Back from 2 weeks in Iowa. Had an amazing time finding incredible pieces of junk. But more on that later.  I wanted to share a project for my daughter that I finished right before I left town.  Picked up an old dark wood jewelry cabinet in a consignment shop with the inside being fairly gross.  Below are the before pictures. 

I used Annie Sloan paint and painted the outside of the cabinet in Louie Blue. Outlined the front and painted the drawers in Paris Gray. Also for fun, I added a whimsical pattern at the bottom of the cabinet. The hardest part of this project was ripping out the inside cloth and replacing it. Fortunately for me my husband did much of that work. I built an earring area in the top by rolling foam and cloth around a stick and gluing it down. Felt pretty good about the end result since I am a newbie on these type projects.
