I taped off a box on the front and spray painted chalkboard paint.
Next I seasoned the chalkboard by running the side of a piece of chalk along the surface of the chalkboard and wiping with a dry paper towel. It is then ready to use as a chalkboard.
I filled the box with mason jars tied with bright colored ribbons and stuck some faux stems in each one, but you could easily fill the whole thing with potting soil and plant real flowers.
Looks perfect as a centerpiece on a table or on the front porch. Could also be used in the kitchen to hold various utensils!
Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulicious day!

Kim

I love this idea! I have a tool box and I love using it as a table centerpiece. It was a great idea to make the side a chalkboard!
I love the way that turned out. You gave it new life, but maintained the rustic quality.
I love this! Just found you from Aimee's blog and I think we think alike!
I love the ribbon ties around the Mason jars. The tool box is so cute :D Nice job.

This looks awesome! I love the combination of rustic and new between the flowers and the weathered wood. Another great chalkboard project :)

These totes are so popular now, Kim. I love this one! I'm sure it will go quickly.
Well you already know I was already to walk out of your garage with that gorgeous eye candy!
See you soon at the market!
How adorable! I just love all the uses of those little tool boxes.
It looks lovely, I would have never guessed the blooms weren't real. Great touch with the chalk board paint, it gives it a nice place to leave a message:)
That is awesome!!! I love how it looks on the table as a centerpiece and there are so many things you can do with it. You should check out Anita's at Far Above Rubies. Her husband made her one and she has been decorating it through the seasons. Gorgeous! Check her out. You will love her blog!
This looks so fabulous, I have been on the look out for a tool box for some time, I love the way it came together. Thanks for sharing.
How was Clover Market? I wasn't able to make it due to my crazy allergies!
Really cute, Kim! I love the boxes I've been seeing, used for centerpieces. Yours turned out really cute!
Oh, the possibilities!
So very cute.

Kim, I am just crazy about how pretty this is- even without the flowers, I am sure that it would look great. Happy Day!
