I was given this toy box from a friend whose kids have long outgrown the toy years. The pic is sent from an iphone so it's a bit blurry.

| Don't mind their mess. They had no clue I'd be blogging about this. I'm sure they would have tidied up a bit had they known :) |
 |
| Primed and looking better already! |
 |
| Started painting it and added a chalkboard top. |
 |
| Ohh la la! I taped it off and painted random sized stripes then added a stencil design. |
 |
| And some matching dots with the back of my paint brush. |
 |
| Prettied up the inside door too. |

| Here is the stencil I used that I picked up at Michael's. I love it!! You will definitely be seeing it again and again and again! I'm thinking I might add it to the sides of this.

You have outdone yourself this time! I would never believe this was hand painted!!! I love the pinks and black together! The chalkboard paint on top was the perfect finishing touch!

That is the cutest thing! What a great job! You are right, I loved DC and the metro was so easy to use. That would be great if your son went to college there.
