Worn Leather Recipe Box

One of my weekly finds was a metal recipe box.  Plain metal green box that was begging for a make over.  

Here is the before photo.... top boring green metal box 

Now with it's make over of black and gray chalk paint it deserves center stage on your counter filled with family recipes or spices or just full of junk you're trying to hide. 

A raised design gives this box a worn leather look

A little clear and dark wax for the aged look.... it might be difficult to let this little gem leave the house.  

Before and after

Remember chalk paint goes on any surface.... including shiny metal recipe boxes.  Later.....
