    Toy Boxes

    I just completed a couple of toy boxes for our granddaughters. I figure they should get some good use out of them. They were painted to match their rooms.

    If you hadn't said, I would have bet the red was for a boy. Girls usually like softer colors.

    Nice looking toy boxes. Are the panels bead board?

                Those are outstanding. Did you use a set of plans, or just winged it. Are those true beadboard panels?

                    Thanks guys for the nice comments. I appreciate it. I did use beaded plywood for the panels. I used the tilt out storage chest plans in the Dec/Jan 2005 Woodsmith Magazine and tweaked it to build the toyboxes.
