Toy Box

I have been waiting to decorate the kids room because I hadn't decided on colors and we're renting. Well I got sick of that. Who know how long we will be renting so... I picked some colors and now let the fun begin! I am officially ignoring the blue floral wall paper and even more appealing blue shaggy carpet. I will just pretend they aren't there and create the room I've been seeing in my head for 3 years now.

Starting with this jewel. I picked up this toy box at a garage sale for $2 I believe.

I put the fabric I wanted to recover it with right over the top of the old, using a staple gun.

Then I painted the base black. I really like how it turned out. Sadly I forgot to take the after picture. And since #1 is sleeping I will have to do that later.

Next was this..

This is a picture frame with some ribbons to hold Laylah's bows. I find that I now need a bigger one! But it is fun to hang on the wall for some decoration & organization.
