a little bit of fabric i had hiding in my cupboard next to a pot of paint.
...viola
i have two new lovely boxes to show off in my home.
it's quite simple and doesn't have to cost a penny if you already have the materials lying around the house (or some you can nick from a friend or relative)
our living room is mostly shades of brown which worked perfectly with what i had available. so after two coats of mystical mushroom paint and a quick decoupage of fabric to the lids, you've got yourself some new storage.
(i think this would also look great with white paint and a lovely blue gingham print)
