I picked up a bunch of these round hat boxes for $1 from our local thrift store last week. I gave my 7 year old one to use for his toys and I started making over this one over the weekend. First I painted it grey using Annie Sloan chalk paint. I know, you can barely tell but the paint is there. I hot glued some vintage lace around the bottom and the lid. The...
