Old boxes - Cool space

What is it about vintage boxes that looks so cool? I have been fawning over old boxes for a while now. The problem is, everyone else knows they're cool too and that's why they cost around £15 a box. I'm going to start looking in some different places for some good finds. Cute little antiques shops will sell items at a premium and only stock things they know people want. Antique warehouses or second hand shops will sell items at a lower price. It might even need some work but you're much more likely to grab yourself a bargain!

Here are my favourite box pictures at the moment (that's a sentence I never thought I'd say).
