Before and After: Shabby to Shabby Chic

              

I’m joining Sarah at Thrifty Decor Chick for a Before and After Party and Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday.

I know everyone was eager to see the transformations of last week’s thrifty finds from Goodwill, so I’ve decided to feature the ones I’ve finished so far.  Here’s that little jewelry box before:

I love the pink, and the distressing gave it that perfect shabby chic look!  *Edited to add: I relined the drawers with pink satin.  I ripped out the old nasty velvet and made a template from the fabric.  I then covered thick pieces of cardstock (like from a file folder) with the satin using spray adhesive and glued them into place.  I still have to add some Swarovski crystals to the little handles and maybe the top or front of the drawers. 

I also painted and distressed the two larger picture frames and turned them into jewelry holders.  Here they are before:

  Again, I distressed them for that perfect shabby chic appeal.  The floral paper adds to the vintage look as well.  I really love how all these turned out, something about the distressed look just really appeals to me.  They will be for sale in my Etsy shop, so hopefully someone else will love them just as much, and they will all soon have new homes!
