How to Get a Painted Toy Box

You’ve seen them.  Now you want one for yourself.  But how do you get a painted toy box for your own home?

Simple.  You need to find the best design that works for you.  Fortunately, this is not as hard as you might think.  There are plenty of options, both online and in your local small town.

First, check online for some options.  You’ll be surprised at how many different painted toy boxes are out there.  From a Little Tikes toy chest to a beautiful fairy toy bench, there are literally thousands of options.  Amazon represents a good place to start, if you don’t mind getting one that is not original.  If you want a hand painted toy chest, you may want to visit eBay or Etsy.  There, craftspeople may offer their hand painted designs for your perusal.  You may find a good deal on one that you really like!

Next, you will want to check locally.  Small boutiques may carry a few designs, but they are usually limited and expensive.  If you can afford it, getting a local artist to paint a toy chest for you will give you exactly the design that you want.

If you decide to go with this route, start by buying a toy chest for the artist to paint.  This KidKraft Dark Cherry Finish toy box is lovely and affordable.  Next, figure out the design that you would like.  It can help to have a general idea of what you are looking for.  For example, if your child loves a certain cartoon character, this may be the design to go with.  Or you can do something more traditional, like a woodland scene or a repeated pattern.

Once you have your design, ask the artist to sketch out what he intends to paint.  This will give you a better idea of what he’s planning and allow you to communicate any differences to him before he starts.
