Storage box makeover

I received this great wooden box from my sister and knew I could make it look great!  We always have a need for storage at my house and this box is really big.

I started with a light wood box that had a rose stencil and lots of stickers on it.  I forgot to take a true before picture but through the primer you can see a bit of the rose image.  It took some elbow grease  and goof off, to remove all of the stickers.  I then taped off or covered with newspaper all parts of the box I didn't want painted.  This box has a nice cedar lining and I didn't want that covered up.

I sprayed on some primer with my command max paint sprayer to ensure that you would not see the rose image and then sprayed on a black paint that I already had.  I also did some roughing up because I like how that makes thing look and there were some scratches and dings in the wood that I didn't fix.

Now we have a beautiful box that can hold tons of stuff!  We have blankets stored in it because we love to use blankets when watching movies.  It also works well as extra seating when needed.

I love it and I hope it inspires you to spruce up something in your home.!
