Well you’re totally right. I hadn’t thought about little kids. My Oldest grandson has always been so tall and built like a tank. And I love that green color too. Thinking of redoing the main bathroom that green is in my top 5. If I can ever go to a store again. I’m on day 36 of isolation because of my health issues.

Jennie,

I actually disagree about this piece being to small to be useful as a toy box. It’s small, meant for young toddlers and their special toys. If the toy box is too large, the child/toddler can’t reach items at the bottom of the toy box. 🙂 That is why it is staged with the first mega blocks, perfect for the very young kiddos.
When the headboard you’re using is short, you have to put on that thinking cap to find just the right purpose.

I agree, it does look like the kneelers at church–until I painted it that sweet green color. (one of my favorite neutral colors for kids)

It is adorable. Love the color, and idea.I know you were limited by the piece of wood you had. It reminds me of the kneelers in a church. It’s really too small to be useful as a toy box. The blocks that are in it are my first mega blocks. It would be great in a mud room for shoes if it were taller, but then you’d have to line it so it could be cleaned out. Without the lid it’d be cute with potted plants in it under a patio so the sun and rain wouldn’t hurt it.all of your ideas are so fun.
