Several years ago when my in-laws were down-sizing, my mother-in-law JoAnn gave me the toybox that my husband used as a child. It wasn't anything to look at, but I'm a sucker for sentimental value! It was his and that made it special! It was covered in a white plastic that reminded me of the plastic diaper covers from when I was a baby. It also had fake plastic/rubber piping around the rim of the lid. To say the least, it was nothing to look at, but it had great bones.
For along time, it was stored in our attic, but for the past several years it has been used for storage in my very cramped sewing room. I have always wanted to recover it, but it just hasn't been high up on my list of things to do. However, I found the fabric that I wanted to recover it in and I have been itching to get it done. So this week, my partner-in-crime (my sister Mary Jo) and I got it done! It still has a home in my sewing room since it stores my personal sewing patterns and books. It is just so much prettier to look at now!
