Quick Wood Tote Update

In keeping with the series I seem to have going recently, this wood tote was also something I had brought to the booth that has been sitting there.  I bought this at a garage sale and, with these wood totes being so popular on blogs, I thought it would go quickly.  I bought it exactly as you see it below.

This one is pretty big ~ it is 30 inches long by 13 inches high.  I brought it to my booth just like this figuring someone might want to add their own touch to it, whether with a stencil, some hand painting, or some vinyl wording.  And that’s what I’m going to do to give it a little more attention.

I decided to go with a Paris and crown stencil I already had.  Just a quick and simple update.  I have a feeling this might not sell and might be coming home with me, so I went with something that I like.

This tote would be great on a long rectangular dining or kitchen table, especially one with some farmhouse flair.  It would look wonderful holding some hydrangeas, a row of candles in mason jars, or some green plants.

For pictures {and to figure out how I might use it} I put it on my living room coffee table with some faux hydrangeas. 

I only had three bunches of the faux hydrangeas on hand, so one end is looking a bit bare.

I’ll give it a coat of clear wax just to buff it up a bit. I’m going to price it at $30.00.  What do you think?  Would it be such a bad thing if it winds up coming home with me?
