This is the AFTER....
Not a conventional toy chest for a 4 year old, but I think he will like it.
All the essential have their place: TV/DVD, book shelf is on the other side, the side you can see is chalk board (that's chalk hanging from a string), all of his DVD's....
Every surface that comes into contact with a sliding object like a basket or TV, I sprayed it with truck bed paint so it won't scratch. That's the plan anyway.
Do the chalkboard signs look like left over baseboard...that's because it is. Left over from my kitchen renovation.
Sending love to all the bloggers I follow...without you I would be sitting around waiting for my next issue of Southern Living magazine.
This is the before:
A craigslist find...I searched for a good little while to find the right size and shape for my little one's room. An old entertainment center upcycled for a new toy holder. I removed the glass front door (not good for a four year old) and the weak backing. The once popular honey oak color goes bye bye and the new satin black and tan with chalkboard accents come to the forefront.
Maybe it's time to begin working on the table I see in the picture....lol.
