cardboard week—who needs baskets????

In my new house…I had a whole closet in my bathroom to put my crap (going from one little underneath the sink cabinet that had the pipes in the way.) It was a whole new world. I had place to put all my girlie supplies.

but I wanted them to look cute.

I wanted baskets…

but since I’m cheap…and needed 6…I couldn’t pull the trigger.

Plan b.

I had a bunch of boxes…(think paper boxes that you can buy at staples for $1.) And cut them in half. Then slide one side into the other side. (the added  cardboard really reinforces it) 

Then I covered it in shelf liner…I found this Duck Brand at walmart (I can’t even find it on amazon!) It matched my bathroom perfectly…Basically just wrapped it like a present!

I actually had a few of these fabric liners leftover from these baskets I got at Walmart-–

Then I just filled with my crap. One for my travel supplies. One for girlie unmentionables. One for nailpolish. One of makeup. You could put toilet paper in it…washclothes whatever!

I also used some leftover liner to decorate the back of the shelf!

I found this weird cake stand thing at the thrift store and painted it white and it holds my wrist crap.

I totally want to paint the back a seafoam green for a little pop of color!!

I also covered a big box to put in my coat closet. It holds all my tote bags.

and painted

i actually had a dark and light turquoise (left over from HERE)

These hold my kids baby crap…

I also covered a wipes box with fabric and hot glue

and then there’s these beautys

or THese burlap ones
or wrap in twine
