After some painting and distressing with fall flowers:
Here's a close up:
To go along with this, I wanted to make something to cover my fireplace when it was not in use. I just didn't like the idea of a big, black hole staring at me every day. I used pallets to make a shabby board which I also painted white and distressed. I intend to hang different wreaths on the front of it which will also coordinate with seasons and holidays.
Sorry, this wreath is not finished yet, I just wanted to get a feel for the size I needed. I'll be showing you different views of it throughout the year.
How about you? If you have an old tool box, what do you use it for? I've seen a lot of different uses for them. And, if you have a fireplace, do you leave it open all year, fill it with candles or other decor, or find something decorative to cover the hole?
