First Post & Little Tikes Upcycle

So here it goes. I've always wanted to have a blog, and never knew what to put on one. Now I'm about to give this a shot. 

Last weekend, I found a toy box and a rocking chair at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Pretty sorry looking, with crayon all over them. You can tell they were stored outside, they were faded and just neglected looking. Nerveless, I decided to get them anyway, and just try to repaint them. Here's the before pictures, though it's a little hard to see how rough they really looked. 

After a good scrubbing with some bleach, most of the crayon had come off. So off I went to get some spray paint. I used a Rustoleum brand that has promised to stick to plastic. It started looking something like this.

 

A few coats of spray later the toy box was finished, and the chair was almost done. 

 I also had to replace the bottom of the toy box because the wood in it was awful! So a quick trip to Home Depot and they were able to replace it and cut it to size for me. 

And here you have the finished products!!
