Thinking outside the box - part deux

Here is my crate half finished - still have to distress the top a little more - and paint the inside -
plus add some more stencilling...................

 I am going to put huge block legs ( very low - but very wide and chunky ) on the 4
corners - to give it more height - and have a glass top made maybe 4 inches larger
all around to give it some substance - but I am really loving this piece...........

Thinking outside the BOX

I know, I know - it's a piece of garbage, right?

That is what most people would probably see -

But I see....................

A gorgeous unique coffee table
A beautiful antique toybox
A fireplace bench - with the additional bonus of storage for the wood
A foyer bench -
Shall I go on - the possibilities are endless -

Filthy?  Yes
Beaten up?  Yes
Ready for the landfill?
Hell no.......

This one is definitely for me - I'm thinking of Paris stencilling right now,

Elizabeth, you are the only person I can think of who would appreciate
this piece, if you are passing by!
