Ugly Bread Box



Once upon a time.....


there was an ugly bread box.


 






So I decided to get it and fix it up.



I couldn't find anything for the top of my refrigerator that I was happy with.
 


So that's where the bread box came in.




A little CeCe Caldwell Hershey Brown chalk paint.

 

Trimmed out in Vintage White.



I used my cricut to make a stencil.
 



And I got some scrapbook paper and covered the ugly wheat looking thing in the center.  I glued it on and brushed a thin coat of Mod Podge over the top.




I also used some dark and clear wax.  




And now I have something new for the top of the fridge.




And I might as well have something I like on top of it, considering I stand in front the fridge several times a day wishing the grocery store fairy would go shopping for me.


 But she's a moody thing and rarely wants to venture out.


 


I still need to figure out exactly what I want to put with the box.

 
So I ask... 


what's on your refrigerator?  Do tell.

I sometimes join the following parties -
