Blue Toy BoX

Sis needed a toy box for her living room. She has two little boys that love cars and trains and needed a place to store them. 

This is what we found at the D.I. (local thrift store) for $15. 
I know, a good deal huh!

We just cleaned it up and then decited to paint the whole thing bluish gray, 

hardware and everything.

Then I sanded it down. Sis wanted this to look pretty rustic so we went to town with the sander.

I sanded the hardware too.

And lastly, I stained over the whole thing with my favorite stain.

I know my shadow is in this photo but the sun was going down fast and I didn't have too many options.

Now you have an idea of what my hair looks like when I am redoing. Scary.

See the difference. I love it!

After we were all done we thought it looked a little dark, so we wiped it down with some Mineral Spirits and it lighted it right up. Here it is!

Thanks for stopping by and
