I found this flatware chest at a thrift store for $3.49! After a little demo and a new pretty paint job, it now has a new life! (You can see how I created a perfect harlequin pattern at the link below.)
Enjoyed the project?

Jeanette S on Apr 28, 2013Beautiful Job. A great friend of mine was from Florida and was crazy about the beach! As a gift for her being land locked in Atlanta, I found an old wooden silverware box...small and 1 layer. I took out the insert, painted a beach scene on the inside of the top, filled it with play sand, had some babies from a shower cake I laid out on bright cloth (beach blanket), added a small demi-fork for a rake and my mother had a paper umbrella from a cocktail drink that could be opened. Closed, it looked like just a wooden box...opened, she was at the beach! She had a fit over it! I have since lost my good friend but I know she is walking the beaches of heaven right now and this is one of my favorite memories of her!
