A Toy Box For the Boy...

Wayland doesn't have his own room yet but when he does as I've mentioned before I want to have it in a vintage cowboy theme.My dream of him having his own room is a bit more down the road with my California detour now on the schedule but that doesn't stop be from picking up a few pieces here and there.

Hubs was none too happy about me buying this piece as it is big and he didn't want more things to move but the kid needed a toy chest that he didn't have to share with his sister and that wasn't pink.After some rearranging of their closet it fit nicely in there for the time being that it can be displayed proudly at the end of his crib...or bed depending on when we actually get him his own room.The price was right and I loved the color,something that will still work too once he's past the cowboy stage of his life.

This souvenir magazine from 1941 I picked up today for $2.00,I'll eventually get it framed for his room,I love it!

  1. Just pack stuff in the toy chest when you move...it won't take up any extra space that way!

  2. Sweet box! My brothers had one, but not this nice.

    I debated on using a cowboy theme here in my office. I'll be watching for your goodies to see how it goes.

  4. I saw some westerns from the 40's in an antique mall that I thought would look cute framed in a cowboy themed room. I thought of you. How weird is that!

  6. You better believe that I'm INCREDIBLY jealous of that Frontier Days program... seriously envious. I'm going to hold onto my cool cowboy barkcloth to make some little pillows for Wayland as soon as you're settled in AK!
