New Life for a Toy Box

When Bayba was a year old, I bought a toy box for her. Over the years the top has become quite dirty/stained.

So I decided to spruce it up.
After removing the lid and lightly sanding it, I painted the box light blue.


Next I did some stenciling. First the fence, then the grass, then some insects.






I then covered the lid with new fabric and reattached the lid. Here is the finished product. I even did the back side of the box.
