Round Wooden Box Sunflower Table

May 11, 2022

I found this rustic round wooden box with lid at a local consignment shop.  I paid $10. It reminds me of a cheese box, but it's a lot taller than most of the cheese boxes I find. 

See the makeover of this box below, along with another installment of our Thrift Store Decor Team's monthly party!

The box had been stained but I really didn't like it. 

I opted to paint the bottom of the box with Rustoleum Painters Touch Flat Black paint.

Even though the Rustoleum is called flat black, it still has a pretty shiny finish compared to my Dixie Belle Paints.  

I decided to paint the second coat with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Caviar.  The Rustoleum worked well as a primer so I didn't have to use as much chalk paint.

I didn't paint the cover.

Photo of a sunflower stencil.
I think I purchased this Artminds Sunflower Stencil a year or two ago at Michaels.

It's not available on line any longer, but you may be able to find it at a Michael's store.

The size of the sunflower was perfect for my round box lid.  I used this stencil on a pillow cover last year HERE.

First, I taped the center portion off with blue painter's tape. 

I then pounced on the flower's center with Dixie Belle Chalk Paint in Caviar.

After the center paint was dry, I taped around the inside of the petals with more tape.  The taping makes stenciling so much easier in close quarters.

I pounced on this stencil using Dixie Belle in Colonel Mustard.

Here is my finished box lid.

I thought my box had a musty smell so I brushed a water based poly on the insides of the box.  This took care of the odor.  I then sprayed three coats of Rustoleum Clear Matte Sealer.

I usually purchase my hairpin legs at Hobby Lobby but they were out of stock online.

I found a set of four on Amazon that worked just as well.  I didn't use the screws that came with set as they were too long for the bottom board.


I like the way my table turned out.

I plan to use the table on my covered patio this summer.

I am planning a sunflower themed summer patio, including the galvanized sign on the left, that I made last fall, HERE.

More sunflower projects to come.
