Shabby Vintage Sewing Chest

Last fall I bought this little vintage sewing chest and I have been looking at it for months...


…just waiting for some inspiration...


I pulled out some white and grey chalk paints and just painted away...


...I painted some branches and birds...


…and then waxed it with dark wax.


Now, on to the next project….

    Fun new piece, Patti. Vintage sewing items interest me. I bet someone will snatch this right up.

    How cute is that! My husband gave me a small wood sewing box (with those flip out compartments) for Christmas. It is filled with very few items and I'm thinking of painting it. Since I already have a sewing box, I'd like to figure out something I can use it for. It would probably be great for little doodads.
