A pine box

I happened upon this little pine box at Savers a few weeks ago. It was obviously handmade, but quite nicely done. kidpics 001

It had ugly yellow rope handles, but it had the coolest latch! It told me it wanted to come home with me, and I rarely argue with furniture.

I really didn’t want to change much about my little pine box. I liked its rustic qualities, but it did need a few minor improvements.

New handles I made by braiding six lengths of twine together…

I didn’t touch the latch!

But I added casters on the bottom! I have had these stashed away for at least a year (I found them inside another piece of furniture I purchased), and they’ve been waiting for new home.

I think this would make a fun coffee table, maybe!

What would you use it for?
