I had the perfect box, thank you Goodwill, and when I got it home I painted it black.

I printed out the word "herbs" from my computer.

and transferred the word to the box using graphite paper
Then I hand-painted the word with white craft paint.

Next I distressed the edges with sandpaper and antiqued the box with Antiquing gel.

I lined the box with plastic then added rocks for drainage then potting soil. Lastly I added my favorite herbs. 
I used copper plant markers to identify the herbs and Spanish Moss to cover the plastic I used to line the box.
