Repurpose a Vintage Tool Box into a Planter
I have a really great Mother In Law and she gifted me a cool, old wooden tool box. I promptly turned it into a flower planter that happily resides on our sun deck! I just love it :) It's a super easy project. My favorite kind! (bonus, the deer can't reach it)
Loving the pretty face of these Dahlias :)
Me new baby!! Love flowers :)
My before shot.
It's a little beat up but it just adds to the charm!
Busy pilling it up with flowers.
Yum. I love our Summers. Short, so even sweeter!!
My after shots are not the best in the bright light... and it's really heavy now so hard to move to a better location. lol

Have a question about this project?
Very nice! Did you actually plant the flowers into the soil in the planter, or are they in pots? Also, did you put any kind of finish on the toolbox itself? I would want to be sure to preserve it! Thanks.
