What to do with old silverware boxes.

I ran across some old silverware boxes

at my favorite consignment shop.

I thought they would make great storage

as decorative boxes.

Here's the before look before I painted them.

Here's one I painted black and used bird accents.

The lining was still in good shape

so I kept it.

I just added a little bird stencil to tie in with the top.

This one I painted one of my favorite colors.

You guess it. Turquoise.

I dry brushed it with black and added

another bird stencil.

On the inside I didn't keep the lining 

so I painted it gloss black.

This box wasn't really a silverware box.

It was a small cedar box.

I painted this one red and dry brushed it with black.

I added a black knob and kept the inside cedar.

I call this the dog box.

It's a denim color blue.

I painted the bone on the top

so you could add your pets name on it.

Then added some paw prints and an adorable dog head knob.

I kept the lining on this one also.

It's a prettier brown then it looks in the picture.

I added a big paw print inside and also added some little feet on the bottom.

Here's the first one I ever did.

It's for my little dog Tilly, that past away last July.

I left it stained and painted some pink accents on it.

I lined this one in pink and added some ribbon.

It holds a picture of her.

Isn't she beautiful. I really miss her.

I also put all her old collars, bows, and some of her first stuffed animals in there.

I also put the sympathy cards that were sent after she died.

It's a treasured box. You can read more about Tilly here.

And lastly, this one I painted a bright blue

and added a tree and some birdies.

I also put on a wooded knob that I stenciled with a bird.

I added some little feet to this one also.

Well that's it. Hope you like them.

I'd love to read your comments.

Rejoice always!
