Hinged Box Re-do & Child's Rocker

First up....  Adorable Child's Rocker

 

This is how it looked before...


This is being re-done for a little boy's first birthday!




Happy Birthday!  We hope you like it!



Next up...   Storage/Toy Box Makeover 
Here's the before. Not too pretty, 
but the hinges are great and I love boxes of any kind!



I wanted to keep this fairly simple, 
so I decided to paint it all one color, Parchment White.


Hinges and all! Keeping it all one color gives 
it a simple and updated look with a little bit of glam!


While working with this piece, I realized it was a pain 
in the but to move around, so I added some fancy rope handles.


The inside wasn't too pretty either, so I decided to line it with some pretty fabric. 
First, I sewed a fabric box and hemmed the edge, attaching the fabric with upholstery tacks.


I wouldn't mind putting anything in here now!
It could be used as a toy box for a little girl, or storage for any big girl!
