Pallet Wood Tote

I've had this idea to build a wooden tote out of pallet wood.

Here is how I pieced it together.

 I used wood glue and nails to piece the handle to the one side of the bottom, and then I glued the other side to the handle.

 Here it is all pieced together before I stained it.

 I truly hated it after I stained it, so I took the sander and sanded down the whole thing.  I kind of like it now, but I am thinking about white washing it to give it more character.

 What do you think?

leave it or white wash it?

Hope you all have a Happy Sunday!
