Simple Wooden Toolbox Decorating Ideas
Wooden toolboxes can be a versatile and charming decor item in your home. Here are some creative ideas to incorporate wooden toolboxes into your decor:
Thrifted Wooden Toolbox
Today, I’m sharing an old wooden toolbox, which I found while I was out Thrifting with the Gals on my way back from Maine. We had just had our first nor’easter of the winter, just in time for Christmas. Have you ever been thrifting in the snow? Join me here to see more of my day thrifting in the snow!
These two large wooden toolboxes caught my eye. I’ve seen vintage wooden toolboxes before, but never as long and large as these were. I couldn’t resist picking one up to decorate for today’s blog hop!
The toolbox fits perfectly onto our large farmhouse table in the dining room. After the holidays, I like to keep my decor simple and cozy. And I really felt like this wooden toolbox made a pretty big statement all on its own.
Wooden Toolbox Centerpiece
I started by adding some mixed blue and white plates to the toolbox, along with some battery-operated twinkle lights. That was it! I love how simple this wooden toolbox centerpiece is, and I can change out the dishes, etc., as I choose.
Keeping with a simple wooden toolbox theme, I added my favorite brass candlestick with a short tapered candle, some extra dishes, and a bowl to round out the table decor.
Vintage Mantel
The vintage mantel is the backdrop for the table and is decorated with faux trees leftover from Christmas, along with homemade orange slices that will last throughout the winter. I really enjoy the color they add to this room.
A thrifted cow head is centered on the mantel and finds its way around our home throughout the changing seasons.
Brass candlesticks are a favorite of mine to decorate and accentuate my decor with. I love the vintage look and texture. I found these on various thrifting adventures and also in collections on Etsy. I have well over a dozen now!

I love the texture that the wooden toolbox adds to this white farmhouse table! As I stand back and look at this thrifted wooden toolbox, I think it will look so pretty in the spring, filled with white tulips, too!
I hope you found some new wooden toolbox ideas here today. Thrifted toolboxes are such a versatile and fun way to add texture and rustic charm to a home.
