A storage chest for Sonia

The Frugal Girl

I painted it white, and I put it in Zoe’s room, and then Lisey’s, and then when I moved here, I brought it along and kept it in Lisey’s room. Sonia and I went to pick it up and I brought it home to sand and paint it. Definitely time for some fresh paint. That’s the beauty of painting!

The Frugal Girl

for space to paint inside It’s been too humid outside for painting, so I’ve spread a dropcloth inside to work on Sonia’s storage chest.

How To Re-use Common Items

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

Empty coffee cans are great for holding paint or turpentine or bacon grease. Zip lock bags are routinely washed and used again for food (or other) storage. Plastic bags are used as trash can liners, food carriers on trips, package stuffing for shipping and re-wrapping precious Christmas keepsakes for storage.
