Yeah, you know the drill. Totally trash worthy boxes that have some life left.
And patching the corners with clear duct tape? Not rocket science.
Spray painting the bottoms and tops in coordinating blues? You have that T-shirt.
The peanut canister is new...
Plastic primer, coordinating colors, hot glue, shells, and my daughter has some fun new storage pieces. For more detailed instructions, fade back to HERE. And frankly, I just love this version.

ohhh, that's thrifty and oh so pretty.
Thank you, Mel. Teenagers can never have enough ways to corral their stuff. Now the boys want their own organizers. Where's the trash can...
so pretty and beachy! love the colors and the theme.
What a creative idea to reuse and to do so in such a fun way! Thanks for linking up to Be Inspired this week!

I love how you recycled ugly boxes to be something really pretty & functional! I wish I hadn't recycled mine (literally in the bin last week) I wonder if a shoe store would give up some leftover boxes?? I am glad I didn't buy decorative boxes or baskets yet! Is there anything better than spray paint & cute dollar store embellishments?
Very pretty! I love the shells!
Thanks for entering in The Iron Crafter! : )
Those are gorgeous! Good luck!
Very pretty! I love the can with the other two boxes. VERY creative! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting on my peanut can!
Just love the boxes! You created! Love your saying, Are you going to throw that out? Great blog!
Very creative. Thank you for linking up with Sugar & Spice.
I have a rather large, old red hat box and your post gave me the idea to recover it.. or rather paint it! Your re-do is really nice..
thank you

Love the beachy feel of your new storage boxes! I would've never thought of that!
