Vintage First Aid Box

 I found this vintage wood box and knew I had to find a way to put it to use. It's a sturdy little thing with lovely dovetailed joints. I decided this would be perfect as a First Aid Kit.


because who wants this ugly thing...


when you can have this...


Pretty and practical... I love it! I painted the box with a mixture of French Linen and Old White Chalk Paint. For the cross, I used flat white paint.


Projects have not been easy for me to get to so far this year. When I do find the time and energy, I have plenty of options awaiting me. I did have a tea party this past week and that allowed me the opportunity to set a pretty table and enjoy some time with  friends from church.


Other than that, it's me trying to keep up with these three and some serious cabin fever! Spring come quickly please... we need you.



Thanks for stopping by.

  8. It's very pretty, and grey is a great color. It looks Swedish now.

  9. I love this! Probably highly influenced by the fact that I'm watching a show called "Call the Midwife" on Netflix right now, about midwives in East London in the 1950s. :)

  10. I love your first aid box! Much prettier than that plastic one. Definitely cute enough to have sitting out and not hidden in the back of a linen closet like ours is! ;)

  11. I’ve been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before. Best of luck for the next! Please visit my web site firstaidcourseonline.com.au.

  12. Hand sanitizer dispenser When your website or blog goes live for the first time, it is exciting. That is until you realize no one but you and your.
