Hoop Cheese Box

The ugly wooden hoop cheese box (above)

I use to work at a Country Store....we would get in these wooden boxes filled with hoop cheese. The workers would throw them away but being the "trash to treasure tightwad" that I am....I would get them and bring them home. I acquired tons of them over the years of working there. I am tired of seeing them piled up on the rack above the washer so I got them down today and started making something out of them.

I took the ugly wooden box and painted it a light chocolate milk color then went back and added darker chocolate paint to give it a suede weathered look. I found the crocheted dollies at the Dollar Tree .....they're so beautiful and old fashioned. 3 Dollies for ONE BUCK! That is my kind of shopping. LOL

I had the other vintage logos in my scrapping stash. I took the buttons and put jute in the button holes to form a bow. I painted one of the white flowers black and placed the white flower on top of the black one. It gave it some depth and definition. I love all the colors.....this new puppy will match the rest of my home.

Thanks for looking!
