Black and White Boho Toolbox

Wood boxes, can one have too many? No, the answer is no in case you were unsure. They are sturdy and can be used in so many ways in every room of the home, and can be painted to fit any kind of decor.

I while they are easy to make, this toolbox came from the thrift store. I always look for them and if they are a decent price, I buy them (this one was $4.99).

I decided to paint it black. I then wanted something painted in white on it. I thought about stenciling the word tools or a number on it, but I really wanted something a little more funky and boho in style so I decided to paint a freehand rainbow design.

I used chalk to give me a general idea of where I wanted to rainbows or arches. I then painted them with white craft paint.

A little post paint sanding and some Wise Owl Furniture Salve

You can use wood toolboxes in the laundry room to hold detergent and fabric softener, in a bathroom for washcloths and towels, on a night stand for lotion, books, a flashlight, in the kitchen for towels paper goods.
