I still have my childhood toybox. Unfortunately years of living in a damp cupboard had left it covered in mould and looking a bit shabby.

I do love the 70’s brightness that it was, but it was far too grotty to remain in original condition. I did try to save tweety but it wasn’t meant to be. I have left the funky interior though as I remember how much I liked it when I was a kid.

I gave it a good scrub down, repainted it with a water based white enamel, covered the existing lid with some new fabric, then added some peel off decals. When Elijah is older and has favourite colours and things I’ll redo it again but for now it matches nicely with the other nursery colours.
