I pulled over to rescue this 80's beauty this weekend
and you won't believe what it looks like now!
The uses for this tote are endless but the garden is where I'm choosing to use this tote today.
I started out by filling all the holes in the wood where the box was assembled.
I then gave the box a good sanding and a coat of Paris Grey Annie Sloan Chalk Paint then sanded the edges to give it a distressed look.
On one side I added a handle to hang a towel and on the other side of the box I created a canvas pocket and attached it using screws to hold seed packets or papers.
I used an old curtain rod hanger to hold the string on the inside of the tote.
Then added a chalkboard to the side.
The finished tote is so useful in the garden or for crafts, office supplies, knitting, or even in the kitchen.
The 80's never looked so good!
