We found this pretty red toolbox at one of our local fleas. It was already red when we bought it...have considered painting it numerous times....never have.
Can you see what it was made out of?
An apricot crate! Didn't they do a wonderful job crafting this beauty?
I put a piece of grey wool on our sideboard,
centered the old heavy silver tray,
then loaded the toolbox with white roses and red plates.
Mixing rustic with silver is exceptionally pretty.
If you haven't followed me yet on the Linky Follower, please do. I know it is a royal pain, don't really understand all the stuff about Google! Let me know in the comment section and I will gladly follow you back.
Hope you are having a fantastic week!
Blessings, Audrey

Great toolbox, Audrey! I found a red tote box/tray at a local antique mall before Christmas. I also left mine red and it worked out really well so far for Christmas and Valentine's decorating. Not sure what I'm going to do with it now, but it is still holding all my little stuffed hearts so it is not bare.
Adorable! I love that shade of red. Thanks for linking up to "Cowgirl Up!". Hope you'll be back next week too.
