Sorry it`s been so long since I last posted......time flies...
Today I wanted to share with you a project I did today using an old wooden wine crate I bought yesterday for $5.00
Here it is
Nothing fancy, made from pine, with an engraved label at the top.
I had my husband cut me a shelf from a thin piece of wood we had in a left over pile...........
Then I picked out a pretty scrapbooking paper I had, then covered the back of the crate and the shelf, I used mod-podge to adhere it to the wood.
I wanted to finish the edges of the crate at the front so we went to Lowes and choose a molding.
It cost $5.75 for about 8 feet............My husband cut it to size and we applied it to the front of the cabinet and shelf using a hot glue gun ( it was quicker than liquid nails, but we did use liquid nails for the shelf support.)
Once all of the trim was on I decided I wanted to paint the rest of the inside. I had planned on painting the outside, but after seeing it this far I had a change of mind. I used an ivory craft paint called antique parchment. It came from Walmart craft section for 57 cents a bottle, I used about 1 1/2 bottles for 2 coats.
Now just to wait for it to dry and then put the shelf in place.................
Voila........A vintage looking cabinet from a wooden wine crate for well under $15........
Now to fill it with eye candy.......
I just love how it came out! I can change the items inside to create a new look whenever I desire, even decorate it for the holidays! I`m thinking birds, nests and eggs for the Spring......hmm...where can I find some of those.........
