Thinking outside of the Box - Σκεφτείτε έξω από το κουτί

Sharing is caring!

Hello everyone.  Hope you all had a wonderful Easter holiday!  I am preparing for mine as we speak.  Our Orthodox Easter is one week later this year.  While doing some Spring cleaning this past week I came upon this sad sack box.

Γεια σας. Ελπίζω όλοι να εχετε ένα  υπέροχο Πάσχα!  Ενώ καθάριζα την περασμένη εβδομάδα έπεσα πάνω σε αυτό το θλιβερό κουτί.

I had some antique white craft paint lying around and it was screaming to be used…. so I decided to liven up that box.  I slathered on the paint, in selected areas. 

Είχα λευκό σκάφος χρώμα αντίκας που φώναζε να χρησιμοποιηθεί …. έτσι αποφάσισα να ζωντανέψω αυτό το κουτί. Έβαλα το χρώμα, σε επιλεγμένες περιοχές.

 I let it sit for a minute and then vigorously rubbed off the excess. 

Το άφησα να καθίσει για ένα λεπτό και στη συνέχεια έτριψα έντονα το περισσευούμενο.

This process brought out the wood carving of the box.  Now it has a weathered look to it, and is certainly much more interesting than in its former life.

Η διαδικασία αυτή έφερε στο φως την ξυλογλυπτική του κουτιού. Τώρα έχει μια ξεπερασμένη όψη , και είναι σίγουρα πολύ πιο ενδιαφέρον από ότι στην προηγούμενη ζωή του.

This was a mini project that was very simple and yet it made quite a difference.  Don’t you think?

Αυτό ήταν ένα μικρό έργο που ήταν πολύ απλό και όμως έκανε μεγάλη διαφορά. Δεν νομίζετε;

Great project. And isn't this a great lesson - sometimes you have to add something so you can see the beauty that was there before. The value of the box hasn't changed but it's now more inviting. (Forgive me. I just came from a marketing class) I hope you'll check out my blog too and maybe follow me. I'll follow you too. Http://runwright.net

Hi Karen, I just came back from your blog, and I am following you all over the place. Because you are a New Yorker, and I have a soft spot for them.. Also you are a writer, if I can tell by the tone in your blog. I love to read, so I'll be popping up in there.

Jamie, I am so happy with it, now I need to find a use for it instead of just decoration.
