Large companies are always changing their furniture and you can often get their old stuff for a bargain. The only problem is it usually looks like old office furniture with no character. So we applied some to create this "one of a kind" tool box.
Hubby got this boring little set of drawers for free when the bank that he worked for decided to re-decorate their offices.
Not pretty but very functional and perfect for storing all his tools in the garage. Now I don't know if you remember all those license plates I bought at the China Mall? Yup, we've already used some to make a light for my son's bedroom, but I have lots more
The number plates have this gorgeous rusty look we reproduced using some left over Annie Sloan Old White and Graphite Chalk Paint we had lying around.
Goodbye boring office storage, hello fantabulous tool box.
Enjoyed the project?

Not only a cute way of mounting on a small dresser or night stand, but would be awesome on an old metal file cabinet or locker.
