I've had this trug (tool box), or whatever you want to call it, for a year or so, and it has seen some changes from the way it looked when I first bought it at a small shop for $20.00. I fell in love with the trug, loved the chippiness, the color....not so much. I let it keep it's original color for a few days though.
After a few days, it got a coat of white, and some dark wax, and the inside partitions got a light blue. I liked it better in white.
I had just enough dried hydrangeas to place some in each section. It is on the side table in the dining room. When I get time, I am going to set the table differently, and use the trug for the centerpiece.
I love the change, and you all know that blue is coming back in a big way. So if you have something you want to change, think about making it blue.
It was about that time that I learned how to transfer graphics to wood using mod podge, so that was the next change. I added a rooster to both sides of the trug.
Yesterday was the day to update it. I had just a wee bit of ASCP in blue left in a sample jar. So I added just a little water to thin it some, and brushed it on to the trug.
