Musique Box

I may be turning into a hoarder. 

My husband, Ian,  just shakes his head every time he walks into our garage and sees "My corner."

I keep accumulating things and slowly our guest room in the basement and the garage are filling up with "treasures" or as Ian calls it, "stuff." One little nugget that slipped deep into my corner was a small wooden toolbox looking thing. I needed something "Non-Christmasy" to work on and this was just the ticket.

I painted the box with my homemade mix of blue, black and white chalk paint.

Then I Mod-Podged vintage music sheets on the end caps of the box. I have REALLY gotten some use out of the 2 music books I bought for $1. I made this, and this, and this.

Then, I used carbon paper to transfer the word, "musique" onto the front and painted it with black craft paint.

Then, I scuffed up the edges and waxed the entire thing with ASCP clear and dark wax.

I sure do like it filled with pine cones and I think it is going to  look great in my living room this winter!
