I found this rustic round wooden box with lid at a local consignment shop. I paid $10. It reminds me of a cheese box, but it's a lot taller than most of the cheese boxes I find.
See the makeover of this box below, along with another installment of our Thrift Store Decor Team's monthly party!

The box had been stained but I really didn't like it.
I opted to paint the bottom of the box with Rustoleum Painters Touch Flat Black paint.
Even though the Rustoleum is called flat black, it still has a pretty shiny finish compared to my Dixie Belle Paints.
I decided to paint the second coat with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Caviar. The Rustoleum worked well as a primer so I didn't have to use as much chalk paint.
I didn't paint the cover.
It's not available on line any longer, but you may be able to find it at a Michael's store.
The size of the sunflower was perfect for my round box lid. I used this stencil on a pillow cover last year HERE.
First, I taped the center portion off with blue painter's tape.
I then pounced on the flower's center with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Caviar.
After the center paint was dry, I taped around the inside of the petals with more tape. The taping makes stenciling so much easier in close quarters.
I pounced on this stencil using Dixie Belle in Colonel Mustard.

Here is my finished box lid.
I thought my box had a musty smell so I brushed a water based poly on the insides of the box. This took care of the odor. I then sprayed three coats of Rustoleum Clear Matte Sealer.
I found a set of four on Amazon that worked just as well. I didn't use the screws that came with set as they were too long for the bottom board.

I like the way my table turned out.

I plan to use the table on my covered patio this summer.

I am planning a sunflower themed summer patio, including the galvanized sign on the left, that I made last fall, HERE.

ReplyDeleteThis is so creative! I just love the added touch of the short legs for a porch table. Would be perfect on our screened porch to house a few games. The added touch of the stencil is so cute!!!
