Build a Rustic Style Wooden Box

When the calendar flipped to January
 
I started cleaning out my junk business drawer.
 
It's the month that says "Start Fresh".
 
I don't know how long this organizing will last
 
but I better take advantage.
 
My art table was a mess.
 
Not anymore.
 
 
 
 
I made a rustic wooden box
 
that will hold my paint cans.
 
Here I go again with the Fence boards.
 
They are like my new best friends.
 
I have a family of them living in my garage.
 
Meet Mr. and Mrs. Stainsucker.
 
 
 
Wow, do they soak up the stain.
 
And that makes them my new smelly friends.
 
I had to let them air out a couple of weeks
 
before they could come in the house.
 
Maybe a matte sealer spray would help to block the odor.
 
 
 
 
 
I started with 5 pieces of the fencing
 
looking like this:
 
 
 
 
Drill pilot holes before attaching with screws.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Tape off the stripe pattern.
 
 
 
 
Base coat black underneath the red
 
so it won't be pink.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pencil shade the back of the paper
 
that has your number printed on it.
 
Our Lot number is 22.
 
 
 
Switch to a pen now
 
to transfer lettering from the front.
 
It will keep a sharper edge when pressing.
 
 
 
 
Paint with a fine liner brush.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pin It!
 
 
 
 
I have lots of ideas for this keeper.
 
I can use it as a centerpiece box at Christmas
 
and load it up with ornaments.
 
It can find a spot against my kitchen backsplash
 
and hold blue mason jars of stuff...?
 
I can roll up beach towels,
 
stand them all in a row
 
and put it out on the patio this summer.
 
Looks like I might have to make another one!
 
For now it is keeping my paint cans tidy.
 
I know you're thinking of what you would store in here!
 
Thanks for visiting my blog today,
Pin It!
