Although I tend to use utilitarian containers that I already have lying around, such as plain cardboard boxes and food containers like the ones that spring lettuce mixes come in, I decided that I wanted something prettier and more stylish to help me untangle my life.
So, I bought some fun bins from the Container Store made out of old newspapers to store my pictures and crafty supplies.
I also found a fun use for this 24-case of Bud Light that wandered its way to my house over the holidays. Granted, this isn't going in a window display any time soon, but it works well with my laundry room decor! The cardboard dividers for the glass bottles help to organize small objects and would make a great container for Christmas ornaments.
And with a little more class, I was also able to repurpose this cigar box that a friend of mine found in a garage sale. It makes a wonderful and stylish jewelry box!
So it seems that Longaberger baskets aren't the only way to weave a new world. How have you recycled or reused old products to organize your life?
Wow, you're smart! Love the BudLight idea.
ReplyDeleteMost of my art supplies are in shoeboxes or boxes that gifts have come in. :) Love the newspaper baskets!
