Remember the box with the pretty green interior from my windfall of boxes?
As you know, I fell in love with its green interior, so it was a no-brainer to keep that intact and just paint the outside.
It had matte finish with a little bit of texture to it, and no rust at all, so I felt it was safe to skip the Bonding Boss and go straight to paint. I gave it two coats of Dixie Belle’s Drop Cloth. Then I applied a section of I.O.D.’s Elysium transfer across the front and around the side.
The colors in that transfer work beautifully with that green interior.
I added a couple of little extras to the latch, a bee from a knob transfer from re.design with prima and some wording from a Tim Holtz transfer.
I also added a Tim Holtz transfer scrap to the label holder in the handle.
This was a another super simple makeover, but I love the way it turned out.
Now this box is a pretty way to safely and conveniently file your home or personal records.
LOL, really, do people still file their home records or has everyone gone digital?

I do keep tax documents, too, but this is way too nice for nasty tax forms, LOL. It is so lovely….it could just sit on my shelf with nothing in it.
