Old Wood Bin



Well, here's that old wood box~~$1.25 from Resale Shop~~lots of chips and few missing pieces.  That (to me) made the price even more charming.

Leftover white paint, bit of gray, a cute stencil design~~sanded over the design; then used a bit of dark stain to tone down the brightness.








See you at these fabulous parties (thank you to the hostesses)~~

    I love the box and everything you have put in it! I just may have to steal some of your ideas. I have an empty box in my kitchen just waiting for "stuff".

    Have a wonderful day,
    Gail

    Love the box! I had to laugh because my husband just doesn't understand why the more beat up some things are, the better! Thanks for the comment - I am excited to start some projects now that my babies are a little bigger and can play a bit on their own. Quite a few of your past projects have caught my eye - I like your style.
