Junk in my Trunk {Nerf Storage}

I know I'm the worst blogger ever. Really. I do. Who goes missing for a month other than a few Facebook posts here and there. After self analyzing my behavior, I've decided that making a to do list and planning to finish it screws up any creativity I've got at the moment.

Me: 
I should go paint that wall. It would look so cool in {insert color here}.
Oh. Yeah. I promised I'd finish my to do list. Stupid list. I'll go bake brownies instead.

And that is how the last 30 days went. 

Raising 4 kids was pretty time consuming too. 

Anyway...

I'm so sick of writing about the boys room and I'm sure  you're sick of hearing about it too. But, this is one thing I did (while shoving my face full of brownies).

A few years ago I bought this horribly beat up trunk at an estate sale for $5 because my boy really wanted a treasure box. To hide his special things. 

It was dented, and ugly, and shiny. And someone named Tony made sure everyone knew it was his (hers?). Apparently I tried really hard to not take any pictures of it. It's hideous-ness is not captured on film.

I painted it the same color as the dressers a while back. But, still, wasn't really feeling it. Too matchy - matchy. No one needs things to match around here for Pete's sake!

And then the brilliant idea struck at around 4:30 when I should have been making dinner.


Doesn't it look so masculine with it's new coat of green and red cross symbol?
 


What's inside, you ask? Special treasures found on once in a lifetime adventures?
 

Snakes, and snails, and puppy dogs tails?
 

 Nope.

  3. Security is always an important consideration and must always be very good at any storage facility. We've never had a single problem with ours. Access is easy and the place is immaculate.
