I use a toy box in front of my couch as an ottoman, of course it is filled with magazines, blankets and cat toys. They are great storage coffee tables too!
I found this one for my booth and did a quick transformation
Here is how it started, it looked fine but, I know what will sell in my booth at Orange Tree...So, I painted it with Heirloom white
Then enlarged two different graphics from Graphics Fairy and transferred the graphic with the blender pen method explained HERE.
I think I priced it around $55.00
I wanted to show you another quick transformation...It's two for one today!
An ugly little desk got a coat of white paint.....
.....But still needed a little something so, I used a frame graphic from Graphics fairy and applied it with a blender pen around the knob
Just throwing out an easy quick idea if you have a transformation needing a little something!
Happy Creating!

I love the toy box idea. Your transformation is perfect. So is the little desk. I'd buy both in a heartbeat.
I love both pieces, but the toy box is my favorite! You do such a nice job on your furniture pieces.
Great pieces the toy box looks incredible it has a French look going on that I really like.

Love it Carol. Does the blender pen work on painted wood? I'm shocked. I didn't know that! :( Bah! I'm behind the 8 ball.
YOU ARE AMAZING!

Hi Carol, I love using the blender pen. Your treasures are awesome. I would snap those up in a heartbeat. Love the graphics you used. Your prices are fabulous. They won't last long.
Happy Monday, Hugs, CM
I love the transformation you did on this toy box and it's a great idea for a coffee table. I bet you will sell this in no time.
Love the toy box. What is a blender pen? haven't heard of that before.

Carol I too loveeee the toy box, it turned out beautiful...

I love how you say, "a quick transformation" every single time. After a while it must just become second nature to grab a piece, get it ready and paint away. My goodness I have a hard time getting motivated to paint. I have never figured this out as to why but something about the getting started that haunts me. Perhaps it is the whole watching the pot of water boil theory.. you know.. watching paint dry. I'm impatient and want the second coat on before the first has dried. I do have several projects going right now but our weather is all over the place right now and I can't stand uncured paint projects. Love toy chest come ottoman. Hugs. Tammy
I really like the toy box the best but do like the frame around the knob of the little table.
Did you use an inkjet printer or laser to transfer the image?

Love that toy box. I am still looking for an old chair to transform, but haven't found one yet!
The toybox looks so great.

PS thanks for visiting my place.
I love both transformations! You always do a wonderful job.
So perfect for toys, magazines, to put the feet on. Great look!
How is it possible that I love every single thing you touch?!! These pieces look so much better with your white treatments. Thank goodness for the Graphics Fairy and her magic. Happy Selling Dear...
Your toy box transformation into a coffee table and the little desk transformation are so pretty. The graphics really make them special. I love the way you do your pieces. Nancy
I love your white painted toy box transformed into a coffee table. The graphic looks great. I would love a toy box like that for the nursery. Beautiful job! I really like the table as well. Have agreat day! ~ Jamie
Both pieces look terrific! How handy to be able to click on the tutorial for the different methods of doing transfers. Thanks.

Love them both!! Fun how little graphics can make a world of difference :)
These both turned out so cute! I especially love the label around the knob; have never seen that before. What a great idea!
Both are beautiful. The toy box is especially charming. What a great talent you have for transforming the plain to something beautiful!
Irene
love the toy box, and the little print around the knob on the cute desk--love that, too, carol:)
I honestly don't know how you part with all these beautiful creations! Love them!
I have two similar chests here at the house. One belongs to each daughter. I'm now tempted to confiscate them from bedrooms. (Don't you just know that the minute I do, one of them will want it for an apartment?)
BTW, I missed the previous post on the wine cabinet. I'm crazy about that idea.
What can I say, Genius at work again. I especially love the toy box transformation. xo Ginger
