Old tool boxes...
they're rusty, they're crusty, & very dusty,
but they aren't just for tools or guys anymore!
It's time to dust them off, (but leave the rust & crust!)
and get a vision for what they can become...

I snatch up old, weathered tool boxes and tool caddies
whenever I find them.
Here are a few that are currently listed in my Etsy shop.

I really love this one. It's a carpenter's trunk/tool box.
It has 2 terrific drawers inside, as well as
attachments to hold tools like the saw that is included.

Do you have a tool box that you use for something
other than tools? If so, what?
Blessings,

I love old toolboxes. I'm still upset about a HUGE blue wooden one that I passed up at a garage sale this summer. It's on my wish list for garage sale-ing this summer for sure. Nice group of inspiration pics! :)
ReplyDeleteI too love the old toolboxes. They are hard to find and the ones I do see at antique shops are expensive, but no worries, always on the look-out at the thrift shops. Diane
ReplyDeleteLove your post! I love old tool boxes too. :)
ReplyDeleteYes - actually I do. I'll have to link it up to your party some time.
ReplyDeleteI was at my Habitat for Humanity ReStore and spotted an awesome old tool box. When I went running for it I saw there was a big sign on it saying NOT FOR SALE, they were using it.....FOR TOOLS! ugh, it would have been so much better with little plants in it on my kitchen table! ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, I have a 75 year old handmade tool box....probably made to hold nails and screws....and I LOVE it. Found at a garage sale. I have posted about it...I am eyeing my hubby's metal box now!
ReplyDeleteOh theres just something about these boxes. They just accumulate character of the years. I have convacated a few from our garage.
ReplyDeleteI love the way yours are used.
