I finished my first DIY project today! I got this toy box for free. The sellers left it with the house. It was pretty banged up, but I loved the size and shape. It was beautifully hand painted, but not my (or G’s) style. I sanded it, painted it green, and added her initial and two star fish (to go with her non-under the sea room). This will go at the foot of her bed. I’ll post pics when the room is complete! Yeah, project number one: done!
Leftover paint from another project: Free
Letter: $2
Star fish: $3
Toy box: free!
