Toolbox Transformation
Picked up this toolbox at a garage sale. It came with some fun goodies inside that will be used in future projects. No before picture, but imagine a plywood box. A quick sanding, some yellow and then grey paint, more sanding and stain transformed a simple plywood box into a great side table.
I added 4x4 legs stained dark to give it a more table-like look.
I love the compartments inside--I painted it yellow.
A fun piece that will head to the Prairie Sisters show this weekend.

Becky, I have almost the same box although mine already had paint on it but needed a major cleaning (LOTS of icky grime). All I did to mine was stamp our house numbers "5023" on the front bottom corner or it. It sits proudly on a bookshelf by the front door and I love it every time I pass by it : )
ReplyDeleteGreat box! Love the compartments:)

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you are a busy woman. I love reading your blog, always something new. Your projects are so amazing, and the box/side table is super cute!
ReplyDeleteHI I ALSO LOVE MAKING OLD THINGS NEW. WHAT I SEE AS TREASURE PEOPLE SEE AS JUNK. BECAUSE THEY CAN'T IMAGINE THE TRANSFORMATION.

What a fantastic box!!! I like the compartments on the inside. It would make an awesome side table.

Very nice texture. I have a thing for boxes and this one reminds me of the one I sold to a customer. I sure do hope I come by something like this box at garage sales this summer. Thanks for sharing your great work.
ReplyDeleteLove the paint contrast. Very nice work!

I like it! I bought a HEAVY old trunk at a thrift store last weekend for $10...working on it now, but nice to see that others share that vision! Thanks for the posting!
