This old caution-orange toolbox tote is the "beast" ... the
orange just did not want to go away.
I sanded it down a little, painted it with
a light gray paint ... (Olympic)
the orange still wanted to shine ... a second coat got
it covered ... light sanding ... here comes the orange again. Would not take stain, not even shoe dye!
Sooooooo, I tried
to "kill" it with KILZ ... that worked ... more gray paint ... light sanded, orange still showing. Just would not go away.
Decided to just live with it and stripe it back
and front and let it be rustic ...


NOPE ... pretty ugly.
see it ... the ORANGE under the handle !!!

Then I spied this
sample can of Summer 2012 Valspar paint I bought at Lowe's and decided to turn
this "Beast" into a "Beauty" with a little Bling.
HAPPY ... YES !!!


A rhinestone button, a lace bow, an old lace handkerchief, a dollie and an antique picture of a beautiful young lady was a nice addition.
The small crystal bowl of mother-of-pearl buttons and a shell just add to the soft, vintage feel.
Stencils both ends and both sides.
Hope you enjoyed the make-over of turning this "beast" into a "beauty" ...
Thanks for the visit ... I appreciate your comments and suggestions.
