The frame - I've removed the old paint with a sand paper ( 80) and also with the chisel-to make some holes), then I've painted with a grey paint-1 layer and when almost dry I've gently wiped the grey paint off with a wet cloth .
Waited till dry and dry-brushed with a white paint.

wooden box - step by step

* first I've painted the edges with black paint, then with the lilac one....
* when dried I've painted the whole box with the white paint...
* when dried I've sanded gently with the sandpaper (240/280).....
* the handwriting was the laser-printed image which I transferred with the Medium Transfer Gel (there're many to choose from....just google) on top of the sanded lid...
* the image of the lady was cut out from the napkin and glued on the sanded box (special glue for decoupage)...
