Stool

Wow, I've really been neglecting this blog.

I actually have a couple of posts coming up, but don't get used to it as I'm about to have baby #3. ;o)

Here is a little project I finished quite awhile back and apparently never posted it.

Our neighbors were throwing this out in the trash, so I confiscated it.

The lid opens to a litte cubby inside.

(the kids LOVE that!)

The inside was pretty icky.

So after cleaning, sanding, primer (to keep those stains at bay), a few coats of white paint, and 4 coats of polycrylic, it looks like a new stool.

And so far has withstood the daily abuse from the kids.

It's in our kitchen and they use it to store toys (or hide toys from one another), turn on lights, and sit on it while eating a snack.

For fun, I modge podged some paper to the bottom, it gives it color and the modge podge seals it for wipe-ability.
