I Love Old Boxes

Happy White Wednesday Everyone!

I just LOVE old boxes.


And you know I love appliques.


I saw this old box and had to have it.

What's one more old box I say?

It looked like a project someone made
in a woodshop class
that needed a little facelift.


You could tell it had gotten some use
and it was kind of a little...well, smelly.


Nothing too bad some Kilz primer couldn't hide.


But it just looked too plain inside.

So I decided to add some vintage sheet music.



Now I love it even more!


A little antiquing,
a little sanding....


and finished off with a sparkly glass knob.

Now I'm not so sure I can part with this one.

I have so much stuff I could stow away in this box
and it would look so pretty on my dresser!



We'll see, maybe I'll just borrow it until
I finish the next little old box I'm working on!

Happy White Wednesday everyone!

Please be sure to stop by  Faded Charm
for many more pretty whites.

Blessings,

Missy

  11. Hi Missy,
    That box is fabulous!!! You did a fantastic job!
    Don't you hate it when you make something to sale and then once it's done, it looks to wonderful to get rid of?!!! I do that all of the time, especially with my jewelry designs!
    Beautiful job!
    Have a great day.
    Sincerely,
    Melinda
