My dear husband marked off a couple things on his "honey-do" list this morning. Really, I do have a list, I just try not to nag, the list is mainly so that I don't forget to tell him when I find something or break something that needs fixing. Today, he hung my curtain rods for valances and my boards for my office area.
This little toy box it probably close to 50 years old....it was my mom's and me and my sister and brother all used it (and wrote our names along with our pets' names inside the lid). I remembered I had it in the attic since we moved last year and decided it would be fun to give it a use and bring it back inside. I thought about spiffing it up a bit more because the corners of the lid are worn, but after a good wipe down with murphy's soap and a little sanding off some glue and tape, it looked much better and I kind of like the character of it with the scars and the little cowboys are so adorable. Cooper already has plenty of toy storage and there are just regular hinges on this, so I decided it would make a great little window bench in my dining area. It is still functional for storage, so if Cooper decides to be nosy, I may have to put a latch or some piano hinges on it to avoid smashed fingers. I'm not really sure if I will get a little cushion for it or not, I haven't decided. The funny part was, I was just telling Dennis the other day that I couldn't remember where I had stored his model train, so he could get it out to show Cooper, and guess what was in the toy box?? You got it....the Lionel Train set!
