Wood Box Makeover

I’ve had this wood organizer in my craft room and I use it to hold threads and other sewing notions.  This picture is from one of my craft/sewing room tours from Where Bloggers Create.

I’d been thinking about painting it for some time and when I saw an inspiration picture on Pinterest, I knew it was time.  The great thing is I have a lot of the scrapbook papers used in the inspiration makeover.  I was also able to use some scrap sheets for this project, so I didn’t have to buy anything to do this makeover.  Always a good thing!

First I removed the drawers from the box and all the labels I had on the drawers. 

The knobs came off and I painted the main portion with some white chalk paint I already had {CeCe Caldwell’s Vintage White}.

While the first coat dried,  the fun came into play!  I laid out the papers I had chosen and cut them to fit.  

I attached the papers to the drawer fronts with Mod Podge.  Once they dried I applied two coats to the tops.

The paint on top is still a little wet in the picture above, but I just wanted to get it back together and in the craft/sewing room again.

It’s like getting a new organizer without spending any money.  I love how it turned out!

Here it is back in its spot in my craft/sewing room.

I’m glad I decided to do this!
