One Drawer Box

18 years ago

I have been working on this little box. It is just one drawer. Hazie shared with me the pansy tiles and the pretty edge tiles. The rest is scrap glass. As you can see I was in a hurry to get pictures and the paint is not even dry.

Close up of the knob. I filled inbetween the mirror with beads. Again my camera had color issues. The blue is really purple.

Had to get this piece done because I need my desk back. I have to work tomorrow. :^((

I still have some silicone to clean up on the knob. did not want to mess with it while paint was drying.

    SOOO PRETTY! I like the purple paint! The little beads are a nice touch...are you practicing for putting tiny things on tiny balls??

    Shades that is really nice, I love the colors!!! What is in the center I cant quite see what it is but it looks pretty. I like how you left some of it wood and painted it. It looks like its quite the big one drawer box!!!!

    I got an awesome box at the store today on clearance, I cant wait to get to start on that but I have the spring thing to get done first!!!!

    Chickee, the center thing is supposed to hang . It is so hard to get a picture of. This is before the box was grouted. It is dark purple. TS item.

    This was a fun drawer to do. It is about 12 inches across.

    Love that little box!!! The pansies are beautiful and the centerpiece puts it all together........Beautiful!!!

    Oh how sweet. LOVE the box, and LOVE purple. You did a great job. I love boxes of all sizes/shapes. You've inspired me to mosaic some that are piled in the garage. Perhaps I can make a display of a stack of boxes as I've seen done w/books.

    Oh that is pretty. Purple is my favorite color. Great box.

    I like the painted borders. It separates each side into it's own picture. Maybe I'm just biased becuase I love purple. My bridesmaid's dresses were dark purple (way back when).

    I love this box. It is darling. I gotta go find some boxes ...

    Beautiful, Chris! Your colors and accents make it so special.

    Shades it turned out BEAUTIFUL!!! The paint really sets the
    tiles off. The drawer pull is really neat! LOVE IT SHADES!!

    HI And Thank you ALL so much for the nice comments. Was a fun project and when Hazie sent me those pansy tiles I swooned over them. Just knew they had to go on something special.

    I think I will be using the box on my desk for office stuff. Have to see if it will fit AFTER I clear enough of my mosaic stuff off to get to the top of my desk. LOL Disadvantage of working in your office.

    I was going to work today on office stuff but we had unexpected company for breakfast this morning. Now I need to play catch up.

    Thanks Again!!

    Very pretty - agree with what D3bbi said "Your colors and accents make it so special.' And I love the "center thing" and how you used it - very clever - thanks for the additional picture so we could appreciate it more.

    Anoter beauty Chris,you've been on a fantastic roll lately!Loe the pansy and the pruple all fit together so perfect.

  • 18 years ago

    Thanks Chris for showing me the picture of the box before grouting to show the plaque in the center. It looks great!!!

    I looked at those tiles last night and cant wait till I can get some!!!

    Donna where did you look at those tiles?? I think they are so pretty and so nice to use with glass. All stays the same height. Nice and flat.

    Thank you Annie and Lyndalu. You all are always so sweet to respond.
