I saw a box at the dollar store that I thought would look great in our red, white and blue bathroom downstairs. But I just didn't like the newness of it so I decided to old it up a bit.
You don't need much, just a sanding block and some fluid chalk. I also do a lot of my work now on a non-stick craft sheet. Easy to clean up.

Ink it up as much or as little as you would like. Start light and then add more as you see fit.Next, make sure the supervisor is ok with it:
Finally, you have the finished product:
