This wooden crate is from ELC had been a resident in Eman’s room (the youngest son) till last year, where a couple of Action Men has established their headquarters in it. As Eman grew older so did his collection. I made him a more suitable place as the headquarters of his Action Men. (that’s another later post)
You already know that very few storage items find their way to my trash can, hence that also meant that the little box was again at the mercy of yours truly. I decided to work on its appearance before qualifying it to enter the “girl” domain (my craft studio)
Naturally (darlings as they are) my boys always come to my rescue (or should I just say, I have my ways of persuading them !!) We got all those hideous stickers out, alittle sanding, 2 coats of matt pink paint, some stencils on the longer edges and some chalk paint on the shorter edge and we have a pleasant looking crate !
I think, all the pictures are in the way of a self-explanatory pictorial. I hope you like the new look of the charming little crate. It has been housing several tiny buckets of paint brushes, copic markers, and stationery.
I am sharing this crate transformation with the following link parties here.
