So the other day as I was waiting for my mirror to be cut, I went browsing in other stores till it was finished. I went into a store and they had this great looking rectangular box. It was angled to almost look like a trough. I loved it, but it was 50.00. I am redoing somethings in my bathroom and thought it would be cute to put things like soaps towels, etc. I cannot afford to spend $50.00 on a box. I was working on my cabinet drawer fronts and went down in garage for some finishing nails and found these three pieces of wood. I am not a carpenter, but I figured why not give it a try. I started by using some wood glue and then using three screws to attach each piece. (Yes I know its not the fancy way. For those of us with really no skills, it works). I then was trying to see what I had for the sides and found 2 wooden rulers. I just cut them in half and attached with wood glue and finishing nails. I then painted it with paint in my garage, 2 coats. When it dried I sanded the edges and around that knot in the wood. Then I applied finishing wax and after letting it sit 15 minutes I buffed it with a towel (One that does not leave lint). There you go free wooden box. Now is it as nice as the 50.00 one, no. But I love the way mine turned out and even better, free
