Vladamere the old wood box

I found him buried in a snow bank and it was love at first sight. He was rough but that aqua chippy paint just had me swooning. My hunky hubby thought he should be thrown in the bonfire but eventually hunky saw the light. His top was pretty well destroyed so hunky used an old cabinet door to make a new lid. He said to me you are all about up cycling so I just up cycled. I love that man. He then put feet on him. I gave him a coat of homemade chalk paint in mint julep. Distressed him then he got dressed in miss mustard seeds French enamel. Distressed again then waxed and buffed out.
