Personalizing Makes it Special

I have missed doing small projects around the house.

It was a little refreshing being able to start and finish a project so quickly.

I had this cardboard box that I got at a yard sale.

I no longer had a need for it, so I asked my youngest if he would like it.

So I painted it with Annie Sloan's Old White.

He said he wanted it for his stamp collection.

 So we picked a graphic from the Graphics Fairy.

He has a collection of postcards too, so we thought we'd use that for the side of the box.

I just used a font from 'Word' on my computer to make the word 'Stamps' on the lid.  I transferred it using the charcoal method of coloring on the back and tracing it onto the project.

I made sure to center the word 'Stamps' on the lid.

I then painted over the charcoal lines with my Sharpie Marker 

and stained the box with Dark Walnut color stain.

I think it looks great on his desk.
