Classic Bread Box

I found this bread box at a fleamarket , and I just love bread boxes !
I think they make great storage containers, and they’re fun to decorate and refurbish.

I forgot to take a before picture, but this one gives you the basic gist of it.

Mine had a very light flower engraving on it.
I decided to go black on this one, and on a whim outlined the flower with silver and added some touches of blue.
I also added a couple extra vines, leaves, and the flower on the handle.
I think the hand painting really gives it an extra special quality, and it’s my favourite part.

It looks a little streaky in the pictures, but that’s because I was too excited to wait for it to dry before taking a picture haha.
It’s actually a matte black.

I don’t have a picture of the inside, because I just finished it today.
But I painted it the bright blue colour, just to give it a pop when you open it.

I really love it, but I think I’d be willing to make this my first piece to sell.
If you’re interested just let me know.

What do you think?

I’ll definitely be keeping my eyes open for more bread boxes to revamp =]
