Hand-Painted Boxes

Another of my favorite things to paint - Boxes! New ones, old ones, big ones and little ones. I think boxes are the most useful form of decorative storage going. I also love giving gifts in boxes that can be used, rather than in cardboard gift boxes that get thrown away; the box is actually part of the gift - pretty neat, I think. I especially love to find old boxes that I can bring back to life with decorative paint techniques and make beautiful and useful again. They are all varnished for protection and durability. Signed and dated, too. And my vintage sap buckets are very useful for storage as well as display, too. Thanks for looking !

This page shows just a few of the different styles of boxes I have designed, painted and sold. They are here to serve as examples of my work. I can design and paint similar boxes for you by special order.  I do stacks of 3 (starting at $45.00), stacks of 5 (starting at $65.00), or stacks of 6 (starting at $80.00). Prices for stacks of boxes vary by size and design.

I also paint individual paper maché boxes and old wooden boxes. Send me an Email  to inquire about placing a special order.

Boxes on this page are examples of my work - all are sold. Click on image to view a detail photo
