Storage wood box: nursery to bathroom

And here I am again...
on the quest of beautify storage in our master bathroom.
I needed to find or create three containers to fit in the cubbies on the right of the vanity.
Here I came up with two, for a total of money spent of $0.

The first one is a mailing box covered with leftover beadboard wallpaper, using a glue gun





The second one is this wooden crate 
that used to be in our girls room.
Well, here is what I did with this.
First I primed the wood part that would be exposed
then I hot glued two pieces of wallpaper board, that was a free sample,
on the "BABY".
(fyi, a lot of interior decorator places will get rid of sample of floor/wallpaper/swatches of things that they don't carry anymore on a regular basis)
Then I painted the all thing with white paint.

Added a piece of burlap ribbon for handles
And here there are on the shelves.



This are easy, no cost, little time consuming projects.





Stay Frugal,
Daniela

Love those ideas you came up with! I especially like the one that you covered over the "baby" box. The burlap handles look perfect on there too! I believe you and "Villabarnes" (another thrifty blogger) should get together.

Those burlap handles are so cute!

What a great idea to use wallpaper! Do you think the cardboard box will stand up to wear and tear? If it does--you have found an awesome alternative to those expensive canvas-lined baskets. Those turned out so cool! I'm hosting a linky party "One Creative Weekend" at OneCreativeMommy.com. I'd love for you to visit and link up this idea and/or anything else you'd like to share.
