If you're new here, join in! There are three categories to link to. Home Decor as well as Crafts, Sewing, Recipes, plus the 3rd themed link up which stays open indefinitely. Check below for this weekend's theme.
Party starts Fri night and ends Sunday 11pm pacific, so you have all weekend to join!
I'll be featuring SNS highlights during the weekend on FJI Facebook, so join in and see what they're all saying about your stuff. :)
This weekend's theme:
an authentic picket board, a white scrap board and a woodsy board all the same depth alongside the most crooked wiggly branch ever?
You get an instant soiless freshly cut wild flower garden in your very own picket toolbox that can be changed on a whim!
A wiggly branch winds over, below and around bright petals as if it's color giddy.
Authentic white shabby pickets adorn each end, ringing in a hot summer's day theme.
The board cuts were left in their woodsy tone to chime in with the branch handle, creating more of a 2 tone effect. I screwed this one together rather than use nails because, quite frankly, it was quicker! :) I put this thing together in about 10 minutes.
The flowers, held in 3 cups filled with water, were arranged in a color blocking method for the most punch. Then fiddle as desired. That's it!
BIG impact for one little space!
My 'junk toolbox' reveal shows a complete tutorial that simulates both builds HERE.
For the entire Toolbox Workshop:
Part 1 - inspiration
Part 2 - how to build one
Julie, thanks for the enticement to give building toolboxes a whirl!
I'm not sure I can stop now. :)
If you like woodworking, you'll love watching Julie work her magic. She just made the cutest cupboard with a shutter door. Check it out HERE.

Donna, so wish I had a tool box post to share with you tonight, I have them all over my house! Just didn't get to pulling that one together, I love them for just about everything. My hubby has made a few as well. Both of the ones that you made are fabulous. My to-do for this summer includes making one myself. Thanks for the inspiration. Take care, Laura

ReplyDeleteHi donna! I'm a new follower but another follower steered me to your blog with your gate tutorial. she must have had something similar (it's been awhile) and she said I had to check out your projects. I'm in love! I can't stop clicking! Anyway, i just finished my gate version from your directions. I will be posting in a few days and I will link back to you! I like mine, but when I see yours I love it!

This is the best Linky party I've ever seen Donna. I keep coming back to see everyone's tool boxes. I might not get anything else done today :)

I adore that twig handle on the first box of flowers. Just perfect.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna I am a new follower to your wonderful blog and I just love all the inspiration and great ideas you get from it! I love the tool box idea. I have my dad's tool box that he made and he's no longer with us. After seeing these beauties I'll be pulling that out of the garage this week and working some magic on it! It will be a nice reminder of him everytime I look at it! Have a great weekend, Martina
ReplyDeleteDonna, your creativity amazes me! Thank you so much for hostessing.

ReplyDeleteHi Donna,
ReplyDeleteYour tool box is so charming! You only made it in

I didn't make mine. I have had it for a few years now. It has served many different purposes!
Thank you, for Hosting the SNS Party!
All the best,
Christine
