Recycled Shoe Polish Container and Bedroom Set

My husband's discarded shoe polish container made out of teak wood.
I lightly sanded the blond wood and brushed it with a light coat of gold paint.
Stenciled the rose and ivy, then added on top a dresser handle for carrying.
Inside I add felt to the sides. This was recycled to blend with my parents dresser and high boy below. 

                                          This was my parents first bedroom set from the early 60's.
                                           It had long gold metal pulls which I replaced with  round wooden ones that I varnished to match the blond finish of the highboy and dresser. The stencil was added to cover some of the large scratches and I also added the roses to the corners of the mirror that was chipped.
