Love the toolbox. It’s identical to my Daddy’s, which is outside in my barn. He built it before I was born and I am 77. I gave it to my oldest son a few years ago. He’s not wealthy,but says no one has the money to buy it. He loved his Pa and was holding him in his arms when he passed away in 1979. Special piece to us and thanks for the memories. Keep it for yourself! You will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Sweet memories - thank you for sharing them! It's so nice when we have something special like that to help keep the memory of those that have passed alive in our hearts. And I am seriously contemplating keeping it . . . :) Thank you!

[@kellihull7600]

YOU KEEP THAT!!!!! It’s PERFECT!!!! That paper always makes me giggle when I see it! 😂❤

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

:) I just might! And I know - that paper just makes you want to smile, lol. Thank you!!

[@sallyh7282]

The chicken's faces are so cute and comical. The toolbox is lovely too. I think you should keep it, you can always sell it at a later date. I think the stencilled word would look more "seated" into the piece if rubbed over lightly with sandpaper.

[@donnawilkes8954]

The patina of the tool tote is beautiful. The chickens are one of my favorite papers.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Those chickens just make me smile! Thank you!! :)

[@patriciabennet995]

Love the hardware box and those chickens are too cute.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! 😊

[@PaigeNicoleKomar]

Beautiful, stunning projects! The reason your paper seemed to grow after you spritzed it is because the water causes it to stretch!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much! And you are absolutely right about the paper - I realized I had heard that before but it just didn't dawn on me at the time, lol!

[@teresadehaven8162]

Love both projects! Those chickens ❤

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

They are pretty stinkin cute, lol. Thank you!!

[@sungleska]

Those chickens crack me up too! The toolbox is so cool. Came out perfect.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much!! :)

[@ImMerelyMelissa]

I absolutely ADORE that toolbox!!!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I'm glad! I was so worried about painting it, but I'm so happy I did!! Thank you!! :)

[@shannabauer]

@@theeclecticcottagespokane When you brought out the paint I just about had a heart attack. Perfect choice of paint and it turned out awesome. So glad you did paint it.

[@hazelsnickles]

The toolbox is beautiful 😍

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you!

[@user-de6em7rg5f]

Love the tool box turned out so cute !!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much!

[@shannabauer]

Oh my gosh Rachel, the tool caddy. It truly looks like something from the early 1900s. Love that you used milk paint on it. Wonderful, fantastic, awesome job on that. Your custom color fit it perfectly. This is not by any means taking away from your adorable chickens. They look so sweet in their frame. Just that tool box/caddy thingamajig stole my heart. Thank you for this video gal and have a great week.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much - I was really tossing around the idea of just leaving the tool caddy the way it was, but I love how it came together!! :) And those silly chickens are so adorable, lol. Glad you liked both of them! Thanks again! And you too!!

[@shannabauer]

@@theeclecticcottagespokane I do think that if that brings you joy, it is telling you that it needs to stay with you. Enjoy your new toolbox. Would love to see how you decorate it for the seasons. Hint hint. LOL

[@alicepike7046]

Your projects turned out beautiful 💖

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@redtrain210]

I have a toolbox just like yours but didn't even think about painting. I think l love it as is and awesome to decorate with each season

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I almost didn't paint this one, but thankfully I love the way it turned out - I was really nervous at first! :)

[@loisruthstrom8143]

I love both projects, but the chickens are my favorite! 👍😄

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Those chickens are so cute! :) Thank you!

[@angeldog8178]

Love both projects!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I'm glad - thank you!!

[@sarahbull770]

Watching from Australia 🦘🦘 and loving your projects ❤️

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@charlotted6247]

I have a wooden toolbox i bought years ago. I just never decided what to do with it. It was only 5.00 at a yard sale. They had it shoved under the table and was shocked i wanted to buy it. Always love your flips Rachel.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you so much! I was so happy to find this one!!

[@darlenedugan8030]

Love the old tool box , I have my Dad’s from when he worked. If he was still with us he would have been 105 , this box is really old.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

It definitely look and feels old . . . I just love it! :)

[@tammyjones1210]

Both projects turned out great! Miss Salty!❤

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! 🤗

[@deemanolaros6036]

Love the toolbox. I'd keep it for sure to use it in a vignette.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

I'm probably going to do exactly that! :) Thank you!!

[@bobbieholtzclaw5146]

Love them both, but I really want the tool box. LOL

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! :)

[@shannabauer]

You and I both want that tool box. LOL Have the best day you can.

[@lesliejackson8188]

*L❤️VE THEM BOTH...KEEP THEM BOTH❣️😉 Your paper stretched when you spritzed it with water, 💧 silly‼️ 😜🤣😉*

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Lol . . . I don't think it would be wise to start keeping too much . . . :) And I knew that! hahaha!!

[@janrychel4503]

I’m watching you on Wednesday Sept. 27. I absolutely love your methods you do with your projects! I watch you all the time and your background music plays in my head very often. I live in Beaufort, NC and incorporate your ideas on my own projects! Thank you!

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

That makes me happy to hear - thank you!! :)

[@mistyb8434]

These came out beautifully!❤ I’d probably keep the toolbox too.😉🥰

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you! 😊

[@carolgarnaat6715]

The chickens make me smile! Love the toolbox. How great would it be filled with greens at Christmas time. By the way, the area of your shop where you are standing looks fantastic. I am admiring the fall picture leaning on the floor.🍁

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

They make me smile, too, lol. Thank you! :)

[@traceygleghorn3163]

Rachel, this toolbox turned out amazingly. The frame was stunning too I would have made something for Halloween but your chickens were great. Love from the UK 🇬🇧.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thanks so much! :)

[@ruthdasch7636]

[@user-bk9jn1ng1w]

The items and projects are very pretty. On your milk paint you can use a heat gun to get more crackle or hair dryer.

[@theeclecticcottagespokane]

Thank you!! And thanks for the tip!! :)

Text stencils always ruin the piece in my honest opinon... Especially in this case since the font was crisp and sharp which clashed with the rustic weathered look of the toolbox. Let's please stop putting random text on everything, we don't need labels to know what items are for or what room of the house we're in..
