Breadbox with a difference

Went to a car boot sale (flea market) in Galway and picked up this old and sturdy breadbox. I love wooden stuff and this roll-top bread box looks very vintage.

I decided to paint a new coat of mature green colour in acrylics. Then I cut out an assortment of pictures to embellish the top and the sides of the box. I distressed the edges of the pictures with Tim Holtz distress paint (vintage) to give them a softer look.

Using Tim Holtz swirl die, I added gold swirls to the box.

So now it is a breadbox with a difference! A nifty place to house my bread, buns and pastries!
