We had this problem and I discovered an old bedside cabinet in the garage being used to store Dad's old tools.. A plan began to hatch in my head, so I took the old cabinet out of the garage and did this:
- Sanded down the old cabinet
- Painted it with two coats of primer
- Painted two top coats
- Changed the knobs
I gave it to my Daughter with a few paint starter pots, so that she could decorate it herself. She drew several pictures to test out her ideas. Then she chose flowers and butterflies and painted a big tree down one side. Here it is in all its glory!
My daughter loved doing a bit of DIY!
She enjoyed painting her own design.
This is the right height for the bed and our girl is delighted that she has designed it herself. Who would have thought that a dirty old chest could have turned out so well and given so much fun?
