Hello Everybody!!
I hope everyone is having a great day. My kids are diligently working to get their school work done this morning so that we can have some fun this afternoon. Woo hoo! But before we head out I wanted to show you a little trash-2-treasure project I did yesterday.

Remember this storage box that I purchased back in July?
Well, I finally did something with it!
The top was cut loose from the base of the box, adhered my DIY Wooden Letter to the front, and add a metal scroll thingy to the top.
I love a project that comes together fast using only things that you have laying around the house!
The box had some obvious wear and tear. So to mask it, I coated the top with a little Ebony stain (left over from the stair rails).
I love this project but it does look a little bare all by itself. Time for a shopping trip!
But wait….
there’s more…..
(Don’tcha just love them “Seen On TV” ads???)
What about the bottom of the box????
What a perfect fit!
My faux plant’s original base was really cry out for help! The whole base fit perfectly in the box! I just added a little Spanish moss to the top.
Have a great weekend! See everyone back here Sunday evening for Amaze Me Monday blog party.
Now that was clever Carrie! I love the texture and interest it adds to the wall.
ReplyDeleteBoth look great! How jammy that the base fit so perfectly in the box, looks as though it was made for the job! Have a lovely weekend
ReplyDeleteNice BOGO. I especially love the wall hanging. I would not have thought of that.

ReplyDeleteLOVE it! Great job using both pieces!

Looks terrific! Love both ideas! I love how you can look at a box and see such different ways to use it. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWell look at you thinking "outside of the box"! LOL! Couldn't resist. What a great idea and I just love how it all turned out. Great job girl!
ReplyDeleteCheers!

GENIOUS, Carrie! I love what you did with the top ... seriously, I'd never think to do something like that. Wow! And, what a perfect planter, too. Once again, girl ....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I would have never thought to do that.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love it when a plan (or no plan, yet) comes together so perfectly? Both pieces are truly struttin' their stuff now! Great job!
