On my most recent thrifting adventure to Goodwill, I scored not only some great clothes, but also a perfect vintage faux bois filed box...
Yep...$2.99 later and it was all mine. I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with it at first, but I knew it had tons of potential.
After doing a lot of purging and organizing of my wardrobe and accessories, I realized that I needed a better place to store my rings and bracelets, so this cute little box was the perfect solution. After a date with some contact paper, scrapbook paper, and a few other accessories, I came up with this...
So fun, right?
I love Orla Kiely, especially this iconic pattern of hers...
And when I noticed a roll of white contact paper sitting in our laundry room, I had a bit of a lightbulb crafting moment. I cut out some stems and leaves...
And adhered them to the front of the box...
Super simple...and since contact paper is removable I was able to move them around until I had the arrangement I liked.
Then I added some happiness to the inside, starting with a favorite piece of scrapbook paper {what's better than clouds and dandelions?!}
And to add an extra splash of color and inspiration, I grabbed a couple magnet clips and attached a sweet card from a blog friend inside the lid...
I love how the colors in the card and the scrapbook paper bring so much life to this little box...
Then I added my jewelry! I tucked in a vintage dish for my rings, and used the divider to hang some of my bracelets...
I hated to cover up all of that pretty paper but I have quite a few bracelets in there now. It is the perfect storage solution for all of these small accessories.
What do you think? Have you transformed a thrifted find into a great storage/organization piece? I'd love to hear about it!
