Vintage tool box decor

Old tool box

If you have an old toolbox lying around, you might be looking for new ways to use it. Luckily, there are tons of creative ways to repurpose this item.

This rusty old toolbox gets a makeover into a boy's bathroom storage solution. Plus other upcycled farmhouse friend's farmhouse décor ideas.

If I asked you to name one piece of decor in your home that not only looks great, but is functional as well, what would your answer be? #1 on my list has to be totes. They are hard-working and can be used in any room in the house, from the bathroom, to the kitchen, to the craft room - even the garage. You can buy vintage totes, upcycle a thrift store tote, or make them from scratch. My favorite

This beautiful Hand Made Primitive Tool Caddy is from the late 1800’s. It has hand forged iron on each side and a place to hold tools inside. I love the patina along with each imperfection engraved in its wood. Tells the story of how many projects were built using the tools out of this box. Would make a great Centerpiece with florals or a display for art, art supplies, a planter or in your Rustic Farmhouse Kitchen holding towels and utensils or primitive wooden bowls!! Use as a Hot Cocoa…

Fantastic huge primitive wood tool box. Imagine the possibilities this rustic element can bring to your decor. Centerpiece on a rustic table setting with fresh fruit? Luscious leafy veggies? Maybe a wine bottle holder. Endless possibilities! This is a very large and heavy item: It is 32" long X 10" wideX13" tall. It weighs 14.5 lb. Remnants of green paint.

Update an old DIY toolbox with paint! Then, if you can't leave well enough alone like me, add a transfer and a stencil! I'll show you how

I have to admit I'm a vintage box, carrier, tote, junk obsessed collector. I love old metal containers, so when I found this orange/red metal toolbox awhile back I immediately thought of how I'd use it for Fall decorating. and so I did.... But how do you use something orangey-red in January when you've just put away everything red that resembles Christmas? Woodsy decor is my "go-to" especially in the colder wintry months. So when I realized one of my Pendleton blankets had a similar color…
