Don't tell me that I am the only one who has plenty of boxes hanging around the house...
I came up with this quick project and transformed the card box into something more appealing.
First pick a box that will fit in the space you are going to use it.
I used a medium size post office box.
Cut the box down an inch or so
(so that the shims will cover all of it).
Then I got my trustworthy shims and glue gun, and started gluing the shims in an up and down pattern.
And that is that.
I left the wood bare, because I like how it fits in the white bathroom with few other "natural" accents.
This new look is definitely better than the post office look :)
...and it only cost me around .50c

Very cool Idea! Looks good with the other textures going on too.
Well, aren't you clever? It looks really good, Dani! Fits in great with the rest of the bathroom- xo Diana
Leave it to you to find a way to use a cardboard box in your decor. Covering it with wood scraps gives it an eclectic look and now serves a purpose. That's great!
Yes, much better than a postal box.
What a really cool idea! It looks awesome!
Great idea!!! Looks great and so much cheaper than a wooden box from the store!

What a great idea! It looks great and goes with that room perfectly. I just redid our powder room and it has a beachy feel too! If you wanted to see it, here is the link.
