Look for less: Lacquered boxes

Swoon worthy version from Plantation Design:



plantation lacquered boxes



The set of 3 is $ 265

 



How about this paper version instead:



nesting boxes



The set of 5 is $37.50 and they come in 4 different colors!

 



Then just use a little wipe-on poly gloss for $10 and we have our high-end look!

Already thinking of all the things I can use to fill up those boxes!

I remember Jenny did this in her office (with the red credenza)! There are also boxes at Container Store that are similar that I like a lot that could be lacquered.

Great idea! Love how you upped the ante with the wipe-on poly!

Hi Bryn,

Jenny took plain wood boxes and painted them and then did the trim. With this look you only have to add some poly to get a little shine or leave them as is!

Both great options, but different.

OK... instead of thinking what I could put in those boxes, I can't stop thinking about what I can put that wipe on poly on.
