$1 Reclaimed Wood Word Box

I was at the Deseret Industries (thrift store) the other day looking for canning jars to can apples in, and I spotted this amazing box for $1!  It was really old looking  and looked like it had been made from an old sign. But for some reason they had faced the words on the inside… 

Side 1:

Side 2:

I knew it would look much better on the outside. So i pried the sides off and  nailed them back on. I cleaned it up with a little Old English… and I have to admit I was a little nervous to do this for fear it would ruin the look, but it just added to it.

I absolutely love it! Best decorating $1 I have spent yet.  What do you think?

I would love to hear what your best thrift store find was?

Happy Thursday!
