the firewood box...

It's that time of year!
The time when we start burning wood to heat the cottage. We needed a wood box, so my husband used two leftover cabinet doors to make us one.

Here's the before pictures so you can see how he used doors...


  and now after a fresh coat of white paint from Sherwin Williams...


We moved my ENTRYWAY BENCH for the new firewood box.
I had fun doing a little Christmas decorating with our stairway and the new box.




The lovely little details include a festive bow with some vintage ribbon...


and some kindling...


I love how this turned out... Thanks babe... you deserve a raise :)


Enjoying the evening ambience...

  21. I love this idea. I think it would work great for the toy storage solution I am looking for! I love the kindling in the jars. Very clever. I will need to remember that if we end up in a house with a fireplace.
