Autumn Floral Wooden Box

  Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning  Dixie Belle transfer  looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

Creating a Typeset Tray from A Thrift Store Score


I am a huge antique typeset tray fan, here is mine I found in the background of the above photo. But follow along as I took a thrift store piece and created a faux one.


When I saw this item at a thrift store I totally saw it as a typeset drawer. I am not positive what its original use was. I googled Znoart but had no luck. A few suggestions from folks was a calligraphy tip kit, game or a bead art kit but nothing positive.


The stickers were stuck on good but using a damp cloth and my handy razor scraper 


I carefully removed it all.


The scratched up plexi glass cover had to go as it totally ruined the vintage vibe but it was inserted in the flip up top frame masterfully with no visible screws/nails etc


Eventually I had to use the razor scraper to cut thru it and breaks it and slide out of the frame.


And this is the result. What do you think of this simple before and after?
