I used an old dresser drawer that no longer had a dresser to belong to...

The first step was to spray the inside of the drawer with chalkboard paint.  

When the chalkboard paint dried I painted the inside and the outside of the drawer with white paint then heavily distressed with coarse sandpaper.

I added clips with rings to the pipe to hang notes, tickets, or photos inside the box.

Throw car keys on the shelf for an easy grab and go.
