I bought this gem of a toy box at a garage sale last summer for $2.
After a little spray paint and piecing together some pillows...BAM!
I'm especially pleased with the green and white chevron patterned pillow. My intentions were not to piece the pillows, but I couldn't find fabric I liked so I decided to take matters into my own hands.
Do you love it as much as me? I use it as a drop box for shoes and backpacks so they don't clutter my kitchen floor. (Theoretically.)

Wow! What a steal, for two dollars!! I love it. That looks so nice. Love love love the pillows you made too. It looks great.
I have that same toy box!! It was mine as a little girl and it is in Celeste's room now- just can't part with it! I have been thinking of spray painting it - but didn't have the nerve...I so will after seeing yours!! Love that you made yours useful- ours just holds crap toys I don't want to see!! I just spray painted a headboard for her room that Delinda gave me years ago- purple, perhaps the toy box could match!! I love the pillows, too, by the way!!
Too cute! Love it!
LOVE IT!!!!!!!
I think I may even love it more than you! I LOOOOOVE it. Like, I want it in my house, kind of love.
great job katie..i wish i had your made sewing skills!
Your mom is so nice! (but she really should have helped you with it rather than made you do it!)
Turned out AMAZING!!!! LOVE the pillows!!!!
What a steal! I love it!!!
You didn't want to keep the little blue birds and heart detailing on the toy box? joking. $2. Nice one. Love the green and white pillow. You crafty thing, you!
What a great buy...great job! I love the pillows..I love everything!
Awesome!! I love the blue color!! And the pillows are great too!!!
LOVE IT!!! I love projects Katie. Sometimes I feel like if we lived by each other we would be project buddies. ACTUALLY I'm sure about that.
wow. i'm not even going to post my latest recylcling project now. I'm going out to get more spray paint!
You Rock! You really do!! I love the fabrics you chose for the pillows too! Great, great, great! Isn't redoing something way more fun and furfilling than buying something unoriginal and new! :) BTW I'm back to blogging....hopefully to stay! You inspire me! and thanks soooo much again for the beautiful dress and matching playcube!! I love showing it off!
LOVE it! well done katie! I am a bit jealous of you making your own pillows though. You are one crafty lady!
Great project, don't you just love paint!
ooo. i love how you did yours!
and yes, I'm glad people sent me some links to chevron prints. Looks like Premier prints is the best place:
