Stereo Cabinet into Toy Box

Our Goodwill store was recently renovated and had a huge grand reopening over Labor Day weekend.  It was much more organized and had a lot more to offer.  Rob spotted this stereo cabinet for $20 and told me he was going to get it. He said it he wanted to turn it into a toy box for Wynn, and I was excited to get more storage for the growing toy collection.  Here is the cabinet after we brought it home. It was not in bad shape at all and I really liked the legs on it. 

The record player was still in tact and even had a Mel Tillis 45 inside. I had to ask my neighbor what those small records were called because I had forgotten. He said that really shows my age. 

Rob decided to sand it down and disassemble it completely.  Goodbye record player! He used the color Posh Red by Valspar, which we had used on a previous project for Wynn's toy locker.  We then added fabric in the spaces where the speakers were at first to fill it in.

Now we have a piece to match the Toy Locker that we completed for her a few months ago.
Then added a bit of fabric where the speakers were previously.  We had paint left over from the toy locker so we did not need to buy anything except the actual stereo cabinet.

It will be perfect for storing all these toys we seems to be accumulating around here.  Wynn has found it easy to slide the top open and reach in to get to her toys.

Thanks for stopping by!
