The Toy Box

For a while now I’ve been wanting a toy box for Lydia.  I knew exactly what type I wanted but all of them I found like that were around $40 - $50.  I found this one at a thrift store and it was exactly what I was looking for.  To make it even better, they had it priced at $18 and it was pretty rickety - mission some of the hardware that held the panels together.  They had marked it down to $8 and with my senior discount if was $7.20 plus tax.  


There was a little water damage on top and overall it was in pretty rough shape.  
I replaced the missing hardware and tightened everything up.  It took quite a bit of sanding and a few coats of paint, but I think it turned out nice.  It holds most of her toys, but not all.  We also have a bin purchased at Ikea that holds her stuffed animals and it's overflowing too.
