Recently, Mr. Decor made me several wooden caddies ~ totes ~ boxes… however, you would like to refer to these gems. Just like his garden bench, they were made from the reclaimed wood from an old section of fencing we had taken down. Woodworking Wednesdays A Little Wooden Caddy.
Woodworking Wednesdays A Little Wooden Caddy
The boxes were originally created to display a few of the dolls my Grandma Jingles had restored. These particular dolls were very similar to those mentioned in the “Little House” books. I wanted a rustic way to display and protect the dolls during my recent LIW presentation.
But since then it sure has been fun coming up with new ways to use the boxes.
They are so versatile. I recently used one while gardening.
A quick spin around Pinterest gathered up several other delightful inspirations.

Love this box used to hold flatware.
Beth corralled some of her twine in this cute tote.
Ashley gathered some of her art supplies in this caddy.
They are great in the kitchen.
As well as the bathroom.
I love the stenciled version Interior Frugalista made to hold her peonies.
An old spindle for a handle and a metal doorknob for decoration on this tote? Yes, please!
This mail and key center is pure perfection.
Right now we are enjoying one of the totes on the kitchen table. Its contents pick up the colors in our new cottage curtains.
Totes ma goats, I adore them all.

I love using boxes for everything from container gardening to holding my paints and other fun things. Lucky you to have your personal boxmaker at hand! Thanks for all the inspiring shares.
Great ideas. Does your cottage have window boxes?
I saved as many pickets as I could when we replaced the side fence. I've been wanting to make some boxes with them. You have inspired me! Love all your examples.
Hugs,

Oh my, Laura, I loved all the ways that you have shared here that these boxes could be used. I truly would be hard pressed to pick a favorite! Thank you so much for sharing with us this wonderful way of enriching our homes with beauty from recycled wood.
Hi Laura
Oh how I love this post. I adore boxes too and the many ways to decorate with them. In fact my hubby just made for me a long display box similar to the one you shared here.
Your photos are all an inspiration.
Thank you for sharing.
Have a nice rest of the week. xo
Hi

Your diy ideas of wooden caddy is really amazing

Rustic, organic, hand-made with love….those words are music to my ears! I am very drawn to wooden boxes and baskets, and the ones made by the talented Mr. Décor are beautiful.
I work on environmental issues and the fact that you are re-cycling material is also music to my ears. 🙂
Also, those roses in the first picture are making me swoon!!!!!

Great boxes! I love how you styled the first one! Very attractive. You have a sweet and quite handy husband to make these boxes for you. Your doll collection looked very nice in the boxes too.
