It's Handmade...and Vintage


Vintage map covered box


I love it when I can use something from my junk stash and it turns out to be quite attractive....



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.
