Tool Box makeover

Crafts

I finally found a tool box shaped box to makeover.

I was texting my daughter pictures and

I told her that I thought it needed a number.

She picked 16 :)

Inside solid.

I used a stencil and craft paint, then I roughed it up with sandpaper.

I also added the standbys,

burlap and hydrangeas :)

What have you been up to this week?

Nice transformation - I would love to find one of those wooden toolboxes - just haven't found one at a decent price!

This is just beautiful, Debbie! The color, the distressing, the stenciling...it all combines to make this one pretty transformation.

Diane

This turned out really cute and it sort of has a slight beachy feel from the colors and striping...love it!

ok darlin - this is DARLING! Love the redo (yes those flowers had led their life and had to be painted over) great job!

Jordan@the2seasons

Very cute I think one of those would look perfect here. I love that you text back and forth your projects with your daughter. My mom and I are always sending pictures of projects by text asking for suggestions etc. How fun!

Linda

Love the transformation, but especially love the hydrangea.

Peggy @The Decorating Files

This is beautiful, Debbie! Love your color choices; especially the hydrangeas (my favorite flower!). The burlap is a lovely touch, too. (How did you get the great stripe effect? It looks as though you added it after the numbers.)

Nice save of the tool box!! It looks so much fresher now! I have a weird obsession with old tool totes.

Linda @ it all started with paint

Debbie, extra fabulous as always! I'm a sucker for numbers too. And I'm also intrigued by your collage with that ripped piece of paper instructions ... can I find that on PicMonkey?

Awww, this is so cute! I'd have to add some potted herbs in it... and the burlap, of course! ;-)
Lovely job!
