Hide and Seek for Kitchen Coolness
It never fails, when someone new comes into our kitchen and wants to help out they become flummoxed when it comes time to get their hands on a fork or spoon or lord forbid a knife. That is because they are cleverly hidden here....
seeeee........
The chest started it's life as a mechanics tool box used by my dear husband well over 25 years ago back when he was a VW mechanic. Then it spent many less than spectacular years languishing in the garages of various houses. One day I was down the garage and poking around for a screw to a project when it hit me that the chest was sort of cool and funky and deserved much better than to live out the rest of it's life in the dank of our garage. Of course I was totally inspired by these ladies. So out it came to the light of day and then it was put through a complete steam washing and degreasing. Then primer, then paint. Then I added a full assortment of vintage fruit labels that I had been saving waiting for the right project. Four clear coats later it landed on my counter top and is now the proud holder of all daily eating utensils.
