What's the difference between a toolbox and a toy box???????

The age of the owner. 

I'm slightly addicted to boxes.  Any kind of boxes.  Wood boxes, metal boxes, cardboard boxes, fabric boxes, plastic boxes, if it's got the word box in the name, chances are I want it or have one.  A toolbox is no different.  I found this one at an estate sale.


It even had some goodies.......


It even came with some rust......


I tried using a scouring pad and I tried some vinegar to remove the rust but this girl had little patience for either.  I used sandpaper to remove the rust that I could.  I then sprayed one coat of Rust-Oleum Filler Primer and finished it off with Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch in Deep Blue.  Oh, and I can't forget the mustache sticker that makes it officially "cool" for my son.


It now holds all those little annoying toys that you find all over the floor.  You know, the ones that you step on and try to hold in all the curse words as your hopping around on one foot.  Yep, those are the ones.


And that whisky box keeps all the legos from being sucked up into the vacuum.

Now that's what I call genius!

Stay Thrifty,
