Last week I showed you the chippy metal toolbox that I bought at the farm sale.
I didn't really know what I was going to do with it when I bought it, but I knew it probably wouldn't be for its original purpose.
I spruced it up a little bit with some yummy hydrangea.
And I found some ornamental kale on clearance for $1.00 each. Or is it cabbage?
I'm not good with my vegetables.
The pumpkin that came with the toolbox came in handy. Maybe Sears should run that promo - Buy a toolbox, get a pumpkin.
Why I never worked in marketing, I will never know. The marketing gurus know, I just don't know.
I am pretty sure my husband will think this is an embarrassingly girly way to use a toolbox, but hey, it's fall and I'm in a chippy toolbox frame of mind.
What do you think, should I chuck the flowers and just throw some wrenches and pliers in it?

Pam, that is the most stunning color combination...I am in love...

Oh, you definitely have to keep the flower arrangement, because it is absolutely beautiful! I just love the kale!

I never seen a better way to use a toolbox! Poor hubby will just have to adjust! LOL.
It looks amazing Pam. I like the mix of plants you used. It all looks so good together and very unique.

Love your colors and plant combination. I think kale is a form of cabbage, so anyway you say it should be right. I think kale just doesn't form a head. There's the garden lesson for today. 🙂
Great looking tool box, too.Tools or flowers in the tools box? If you put tools in it, you may never see it again...at least as a decorative element.

Kale...Cabbage - whatever it is - it's CUTE! Love the colors, and we think it's the perfect way to show off a tool box 🙂

I like "Buy a toolbox, get a pumpkin." It's manly enough, no? I love the hydrangeas... what a nice color! Mine are pretty brown already (I never cut them off).

SOOOO Pretty...I love your Sears promotional idea - it made me chuckle out loud, which is pretty impressive at 6:30am! I have 3 or 4 old tool boxes - thanks for the beautiful idea! I also like when people plant succulents in them too.
