Red Metal Tool Box

We have another vintage toolbox to add to our collection.  This one is a fun tomato red and is covered with a few graphic stickers.  The latch, hinges, and handle are in great condition.

Think beyond the intended use for this toolbox.  We can see this toolbox in a vintage inspired boy's room. Screw directly into the wall as a great shelf or small space bedside table.

But it doesn't have to go into a boy's room.  The fun red would be equally at home in a cottage as it would in an industrial style loft.  Store toiletries, sewing items, art supplies, remotes...the possibilities are endless with this great multi-use box.

Measures: 7.5" tall (2.5" tall handle on top);
19" long x 7" wide

Gray Cabinet/Trunk -- SOLD on Etsy

Our rustic/industrial looking trunk functions as a cabinet when turned on its side.  There are three wooden dividers that split the trunk into four sections.  The dividers, which can act as shelves, slide out and in to change the amount of space within.

You can see in these photos that we've used the trunk as a side table, with a a divider/shelf pulled out slightly as a place to rest a cup of tea.

Use the trunk for storage horizontally or vertically.  We can see it as a coffee table or a side table next to a sofa or bed.

The hinges are all intact and in good working order.  The trunk also has canvas handles which will support the weight of the trunk plus whatever happens to be stored inside.  Heavy-duty metal brackets on eight corners insure that this trunk will remain sturdy and stand the test of time.

Measures: 30" x 19" x 17"
Has three removable wood shelves
