Boys & Their Toys

Here's another little simple paint project for ya.  I got this wooden toy box for Carter's room.  It's small... so it's not like I will use it for actual toys... but still, it's cute for a decor piece. (that's a frame sitting inside of it BTW)

I spray painted it brown, and then hand painted the letters in black.



Then I painted over the black with 4 different colors of paint that I had used on his walls for his bedroom (click here to see that).

Once that dried, I heavily distressed it with sandpaper all over and put it on this cute little shelf in his room.

I think it turned out pretty cute! 

Anyway, I am planning a little girls getaway this weekend so I won't be posting anything until next week.  Meanwhile, I need some ideas on how to paint this monstrosity!  It's a small entertainment center that was FREE right down the street from my house.  Can't pass that up now can ya?  So I figure it will be a practice piece for me to play around with, but I want some new ideas on colors, glazing, distressing.... what you do you think?

Send me your ideas and then maybe I will have enough energy to tackle this one.... after a nice relaxing trip this weekend.  Hope yours is great!
