creating: building a flower box for our table

I have wanted to build a flower box for the center of our dining room table and recently I finally got to do it.  

I found this fence board and bought two at Lowes.

Everything else I had on hand, so this box came to $3!

 Once we had the finished box, I used wood filler on the nail holes and the corners to smooth it all out.

I decided to paint it white.  

We used a spray primer to make sure our paint looked it's best.

When it was all painted, I thought that it needed something, so I added handles to the ends and a shelf liner to the bottom, both found at Lowes:

We love how it came out.  It was a little project that we worked on over a couple of days and I just love that we got to make it as a family!

I found a little use for these babies.

I washed them, stripped the labels, ran them through the dishwasher and they were ready to go.
I am planning to line them up in the box and fill them with flowers.
I can't wait!
