Ok so this is a really simple DIY. Its sort of painfully obvious how to make a wooden box to most people but if I'm honest, I never even thought about doing this myself until a few weeks ago. I don't know why - its just not something that crossed my mind. Of course once I was set on it, I had to do it right away. Yea, power tools.
I put together the step by step for anyone who wants to give it a go. Aside from the nailing of the boxes, which required another set of hands, the rest of this project can be done easily by even the the most basic handywoman with a miter saw.
I purchased my supplies new but if you happen to have a nice scrap pile in your garage or recently harvested some palletes from the dumpster, this project is just about free.
This really turned out fantastic. I love the choice of stain that you used. It makes me want to start a vintage camera collection.
ReplyDeleteThey look awesome. I'm not nearly as handy as my husband so I defer to him when it comes to power tools, but this does look reasonably easy to do. I would still have him do it though;)
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the wood stain. It's perfect. I'm going to have to use that on something!
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant idea, love the way it turned out!
ReplyDeleteI always drop by to check out your creativity and never get disappointed. Looks absolutely brilliant. I would love to know the brand and the stain number, it turned out great.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I don't have a vintage camera collection but I do have a huge seashell collection. It might be nice to display some shells this way instead of baskets...would be able to see them better. I love the grey stain too.
ReplyDeleteJust curious how you hung them on the wall?
Your home is beautiful!
I used those little hanger things you use on the back of picture frames. http://images.orgill.com/200x200/6036180.jpg
ReplyDeleteThanks. Its Minwax in Classic Gray.
ReplyDeleteOh the saw tooth hangers! I wasn't sure because your boxes look like the are floating...they don't angle out.
ReplyDeleteLooks great...maybe giving it a shoot myself.
Thank you so much!
