Taking inspiration from a vintage hatbox

April 18, 2012 by Erin Heaton

I say, you can never have too many pretty storage boxes.
My mom gave me these unfinished wood boxes we found in her basement. I sat on them for months (well, not literally) because I didn’t really know what to do with them. That was until I saw this:

A vintage hatbox I spied at an antique mall. So mid-century, but also so modern. The lines were also very brushy looking, so I knew it would be easy enough to steal the idea.

One went black and the other white, but both got the brushy gold stripes. Those brass rivets on the seams are probably supposed to face the back, but I love them so much.
