The box turned out beautiful. I believe that is a vintage (or reproduction) writing or 'secretary' box. It probably housed ink wells, maybe mailing adhesive, maybe small pieces of paper, etc and the bottom probably was made for quill tips and other writing supplies. Lovely way to upcycle it!
I have a little box shaped exactly like your specimen box. When I thrifted it, it was painted gold with angels decoupaged on the lid. You have inspired me to create a little fairy home with this box! Thanks for the idea. I loved all your projects.
OMG! I love these but that entomology collection box was unbelievably gorgeous and ingenious! I love the look of old collections and boxes that hold them. You made me rethink my habit of painting everything white. Lol. Tyfs!
OMG! Absolutely love that specimen box and everything you put in it! Amazing ! Keep up with the dark and moody. There’s a lot of us out here that love it 💕 farmhouse is getting tiring. Although, I do like some aspects of it.
Just found your channel tonight !! Love ALL the gorgeous pieces you created !! Totally in love with your style, colors, transfers & your know how !!! Just subbed to your channel and can't wait to see more 😀 !! Take care and TFS my new friend!! ❤
I loved this! Just found you today!! Do you have a video about your small mushroom junk journal??? That was Amazing! and I’d love to see how you did that (even though you said you’ve moved on to this new medium).
Wow, Sharon! The Specimen Box, what a treasure! Dark and moody isn't my jam, but you've created some amazing pieces. The drippy paint technique turned out so rich and luscious, that would definitely try my OCD, LOL. I think have some puppy training pads on hand would be good to use under your project would helps with the drippy mess.
I'm not sure I realized how much I do like dark and moody. I also haven't ever seen a specimen box I liked, let alone loved❤. That's stunning and it's insane how much detail you gave every inch of that box. I'm not a purple person either but that box is gorgeous. I think you are definitely in your element.
Your method and process of transforming this odd box was fascinating to watch. I have an appreciation of all types of art. You did great! Enjoyed your video.
I love the green box made into a Specimen box that was great and also I really liked the drawer out of a sewing machine or something that had the butterfly inside great job
I found your channel about a week ago and have been binging all the episodes. I love watching because even if it’s not my style, I am Inspired by the techniques and products you use in each project. However, I felt compelled to comment on this video because of how much I love love love these dark and moody pieces. The specimen box has such a wow factor. I would absolutely buy that and scream with excitement about finding it. Great job and thank you for making these videos.
Welcome! Thank you for subscribing and I love that you get excited from watching my videos! I too feel your excitement when making them and when I watch other RUclipsrs that inspire me too!!! Thank again!
Idk what has happened but I’m combing through your channel because I love what you do so much. Anyway, videos I know I have watched before, liked and saved in my numerous albums are lied or saved as I re-watch. Hopefully it somehow gives you 2 likes per video but it’s frustrating to know nothing is saved and my likes aren’t there anymore. I hope watching the videos more than once also helps out your channel. I agree with a comment on another video that a dark and moody channel would be amazing. I understand wanting to create videos everyone likes to get more viewers. However, I can personally tell when a creator is really doing what THEY love to do. In my opinion there is no one like you on RUclips. I’m always so inspired when I watch you. I love the layers and steps, the new products and techniques, your creativity and talent, your vibe and accent. You’re amazing! ❤
Wow you are AWESOME!. I really appreciate the time you took to type out this comment. I too watch my favorite videos and RUclipsrs more than once. I hate that about your saved videos..such a bummer. I love trying new things and techniques and sharing, it is so much fun!
I’m getting so many great ideas from your videos! Keep up the dark and moody projects. Once I get my bedroom all decorated with the dark cottage core vibe, I’ll link you to my videos!❤️❤️
Totally love the purply black box with the stencil it is so cute it looks like a lot of work but I love it. I would have it in my house. also I really like the way that you did the butterflies, I would like one if it was a bat. The little journal was really neat. The mushrooms r my favorite on the box. I also really love the frame.
I am new to your channel and I love all of these, but what you did with the box with the drawer, was amazing! I did hit hit like and subscribe bc I for 1) love your accent and 2) love your ideas. Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us. ❤
I love your channel! You do such eclectic art! So, here is a quick funny story for you. Aunt Bees Attic is the house right next to the home where my husband grew up in West Salem! I kept think the store name sounded familiar! What a small world!
I just love your video. I do junk journals to go with my gourd items that I make. Witches and funny gourd people. Then a box to put them in. Love your colors.
As usual, the restoration and paint jobs are perfection. The plates and picture frames were great, but I would have put the butterfly decals on thin stiff cardboard, and then put a spacer beneath them so they'd stand out in 3D. But can't say I'm fond of the insect and frog and butterfly decals on the specimen box and the rest of the items. There's no design to their placement and it's like a child decorated the items by just sticking stickers over everything. Less is more would have been best here. I wouldn't have used the black and white napkin on the interior shelf, but would have found some botanical paper instead to keep to the theme.
What a waste of time watching this. Those rub on bug should be banned. These items are so passe and ugly. Next time try and come up with some "original" ideas and not just copy everyone else on RUclips
Thank you for your comment. Please drop me a link of videos like this. I have searched all over YT and can't find any, All I find is white painted Farm House. I would love to see this content all over RUclips of the dark and moody style. Thanks again for your comment, it really helps my channel🥰
This is the third dark and moody video i have watched. I am defining a fan! I learned something about myself! Lol. I didnt think i was going to like it. Boy i was wrong!
I'm a color girl not into the dark and moody. I have aqua, red, and yellow in my kitchen. My living room is red with cream and gold its equestrian decor.
Thank you so much!!! I have had a lot of comments about it, so I have listed it in my Etsy Shop! Here is the link and I just notified with a video on RUclips that it is listed. www.etsy.com/listing/1507618849/upcycled-vintage-box-specimen-box?click_key=1d4fd23b946aa8cbb399cff53e676ea7e7ddc322%3A1507618849&click_sum=48029f02&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1
I just received it today!! It's like Christmas I swear. I knew what was coming and it was still a fun exploration. This is incredible. Such a wonderful outcome and beautiful creativity. I'm in love😍
I'm first, lucky me! Of course, it is the middle of the night! Haha! I LOVE your drippy paint technique. Wow. Black wax over black paint...thats awesome! Your projects are wonderful: i love them all!
You have outdone yourself! This vibe is my favorite! I love moody, witchy, gothic, oddity decor so these are beautiful! I think you should do a separate channel if people don't like it. 😂 I also love Steampunk! Your channel is so inspirational. Thank you!
Thank you so much!! You have my wheels turning...another channel??? I do love me some creepy, oddity stuff! We will see. So far, I only had one comment that did not like it, but I did ask for those comments and it is perfectly okay!
I love the dark and moody decor that’s becoming so popular!! I loved all your projects on this video but the green specimen box was definitely my favorite!💚🪲🪰🐛🔬
Yes! Thank you! me too! I am so glad other decor styles are becoming popular. I have loved Victorian, Dark and Moody and so much more for so long, it is nice to see them becoming mainstream and those emojis are the bomb!!!
Your specimen box is pure genius. There are so many videos on RUclips that just don't reach the level of a professional finish that you have achieved on this! Lucky is the person who buys it! Absolutely accessorized to the ultimate! Love it!!
ALL WERE BEAUTIFUL....THE SPECIMAN CABINET WAS EXCEPTIONAL!! INSIDE AND OUT, THEN ADDING ALL THE EXTRAS....JUST AWESOME. THE MINI JOURNAL IS A WORK OF ART! 💙💙
I watched one of your video’s where you filled globes with collectibles etc. You called them something like cliches??? What was the title of that video. Help.

I enjoyed seeing the different steps you 'tried out' with the new products. That specimen box is amazing.
Thank you ❤️
The book with the specimen box is super. I’m not into witchy stuff but this can be bug-gy stuff for exploration. Terrific!
Thank you!
What a waste of time watching this. Those rub on bug should be banned. These items are so passe and ugly. Next time try and come up with some "original" ideas and not just copy everyone else on RUclips

Love that specimen box!!!! Dark and moody is fun and mysterious:) they
Thank you!
That punch has measuring tape next to the whole punch
I really liked everything you did but the greens were my favorite.. I’m not usually a fan of purple but it was beautiful with the blending.
Me either, not really a purple girl, but I made it work! I was sent these colors and I wanted to challenge myself with that purple!
The specimen box is SO perfect, I've LOVED all your diy's
Thank you so much!
I really liked the "insect specimen case" part of this segment. Looks perfect for "dark & moody" or steampunk
Thank you so much!

I totally get it! Thank you for the comment!
Love the specimen box, I have that transfer book and was waiting for a video of what to do with them and you gave me absolutely perfect inspiration 😍
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!!!
