I found this kitchen when I was starting to redo the girls room. I know it is a kitchen but I just thought it was so pretty. And I loved the name of it "Chocolate and Bubblegum"! Does that have kid all over it or what? I did tone down the "chocolate" to "carmel" in their space. I loved these boxes for storage. So I gave some of my own a makeover to go in their room.
I bought these boxes awhile ago from Target. They were perfect in their room. I got 2 small and 2 large rolly ones. Since their room was pink and purple, I got a set in each color. So using that pic as an inspiration, I painted the pink ones to match. Sounds easy right? Well it probably would have been. It took me 2 hours to tape off all the stripes. I thought I deserved a potty break and when I was done I found my assistant helping by undoing all my hard work! Grrrrr! So back to another 2 hours to retape. Of course, 2 stripes left and I ran out of tape. Who has EVER used a whole roll of tape? I know I never have. Usually I lose it or someone takes it before that happens. So an hour to hunt for one of those lost rolls. Found one in Caveboy's room. Then I painted 3 thin coats to cover the pink. I really like the finished product! They look cute on the bookcase and hide all the treasures the kids won't part with.
