Today we decided to steal my daughter's toybox for our own selfish uses. (actually, it was in the way and hasn't been opened in months)

We decided that it would make a great blanket chest in the living room.

The living room is Americana, so you can guess how this is getting painted.

We brought it in and it is too blue! Time to take it back out and do some sanding....
