Painted Red Wood Tote

I've been working on this PhD. 

Project Half Done.

Last year I made a sketch of a tote that I 

wanted and Larry cut the pieces out of
our supply of scrap wood. 

The pieces were nailed together and then.....
I couldn't decide what color to paint it,
 so it waited patiently in the holding area
a.k.a. garage until this year.

Now I'm seeing red. So red it is!  My color
for September. How cute!  This leftover paint
is Benjamin Moore~Barn Red.
I think Christmas, Valentine's Day, July 4th,
(and really the whole summer)
could all use a happy red wood tote.

For September I filled it
with 3 small quart-size pots of mums.
They'll be easy to change out.

So many options on what to put inside;
flowers, potted plants, evergreen branches,
pinecones, dishes, large glass jars, bottles,
books, towels, wood cutting boards, and
more fun vignettes. I love wood boxes!
I'm already thinking of another one
I 'need'. Luckily we have a good supply of
 scrap wood and leftover paint.

Cheers!
