Do you ever pass up a thrift store find because it’s broken? Maybe you should think outside the box! I picked up these two wooden boxes at a thrift store for a dollar each, and I knew I could do something awesome--like dress them up as charging stations for nightstands in my master beadroom!
I love how these charging stations turned out! It's hard to believe how they started....
I found these fun boxes at the thrift store! They were in rough shape: dirty, scuffed, and the bottom of one of them was broken. It looks to me like they were inserts in an antique secretary or other piece of furniture that someone had added some bottoms and handles to. The handles were attached with nails that went all the way through to the inside of the box (DIY upcycle gone wrong, maybe?).
First, I removed the label hardware and gave them a good sanding.
Then I primed them, inside and out!
Some coral paint on the inside and gray on the outside, and they were beautiful! Check out my blog post to find out how they worked as chargers and how I cleaned up the hardware!
