| Vintage map covered box |
This is a 7 inch square box covered in a vintage 1960's NC/SC road map.
I think I keep adding marble feet to my boxes because just that little bit of color and height takes them from just a box to an accessory.
The ribbon reminded me of tire tracks or a checkered flag from the race track.
The old reflector and keys have been in a box for years waiting for a project so I knew immediately when I started searching for a knob what I needed. I thought the gas key was the perfect accent with the old car key.
I like to finish the insides too.
...and the inside of the tops.
This one is available in the shop for our local shoppers. I will be listing lots of other embellished boxes in our Etsy shop, Ranch Dressing Online, this week. I will keep you posted.
If you are interested in seeing this box or others, give us a call. It's gorgeous on a book shelf or sitting on a table...and it earns it keep by holding what ever you want to hang on to but keep out of sight.

Angie, Darlin', This box is fantastic! Truly innovative, fun, and I wish I had thought of it...You are creative, kind, and always a joy.
ReplyDeleteYou, in fact, were one of the first blogs I found that was of interest to me...for, I had Googled, "floorcloths"..(I paint them, as well, but there's room enough in the world for both of us)..I found some pretty horrible examples, but yours shown like a bright star in a dark night...
Good to reconnect.
Hugs,

Hey, thank you. I'm addicted to boxes lately and can't stop making them. I'm still doing floorcloths when I get an order but not advertising any more. 22 years is long enough. I'm enjoying the shop! Thank you for your sweet comment! Let's stay in touch.
