The Medieval Look is Not for Me!

Life has been really busy around here.  I have been working on many crafts between homeschooling and church activities.  I just wanted to share with you a little box that I brightened up.  When I got this at a yard sale, it had apples all over it.  I painted in in ASCP Linen.  I then put a graphic and verse on it, but it looked too Medieval for me.  So I sanded down the verse part and painted a layer of black and then a layer of mustard colored milk paint.
Sorry, this is the only before pic I took.
For the finish, I waxed it with clear and dark wax.
I also added a little leather handle to open the box.
This looks so much better than the Medieval look.
I could see recipes stored in here for quick reference.  
Do you still use recipes on cards or are you into the RECIPE.COM lifestyle?
