I can't believe I haven't shared this thrifty makeover yet! I'd been trying to find a wood toolbox for months now. I finally hit the jackpot a couple of weeks ago. This is the after ^.
Here is the before. Yes, it came complete with tons of nails. Yikes! I gave it a few coats of white chalk paint and then did my usual sanding in random spots. I finished it up with the wood embellishment - which I painted black. We're using it on our patio table to hold flowers and holiday decor.
Unfortunately I didn't take a before picture of this picnic basket. Believe me when I say it was your standard boring picnic basket. I gave this one a few coats of white spray paint as the chalk paint was just not cooperating.
I have a few more projects in the works. We're waiting on Tropical Storm Elsa to come and go. Fingers crossed we don't lose power. Again.
