| I'm going to share one of my storage solution secrets with you today! I have lots of "stuff" and I've had to get very creative to find room to store all of it. |
 |
| With all the beautiful storage boxes available now, you no longer are stuck with using ugly plastic totes. The pretty "tops" can even double as a "picture". I hung this pretty top with a large suction cup on the entry way mirror. |
 |
| Where's the bottom you ask...... |
 |
| I turned it upside down to cover a large ceramic strawberry cake that is not in use right now. |
|
| Here is another sweet round box that I am using to store doilies in. Should I need some doilies for a vignette that I am putting together, I just take the box to my vignette, use what I need, and put the box back where it was. These pretty boxes are inexpensive ....this round one was $4.99 at Tuesday Morning. |
 |
| I use this square lidded box to store crocheted runners that are not in use right now. |
 |
| So, that's my secret.......Store it in Plain Sight!!!! |
 |
| This is the wall on the other side of the entry way. I used my "store it in plain sight secret" in this cabinet as well. |
 |
| I have used a different container on this wall.....gift bags! |
 |
| These pretty bags are so inexpensive....$2.49. You can't really see it in the photo, but the butterflies are "3D" and there is lots of glitter on the bags. |
 |
| and again....storage "in plain sight" |
 |
| If you look closely behind this bag, I am storing the Christmas wreath that was on the front door this past year. Did you notice it before I pointed it out to you? Well,,,,,,it was right there in plain sight!....lol! |
 |
| I have wine corks in the large round box........the medium one holds my colored chalk........and the small one is full of pearl topped straight pins! |
 |
| The little suitcase on the left contains lace that I use in craft projects... |
 |
| It also came from Tuesday Morning, but HL, Michaels, Joann's all have beautiful storage boxes. |
I love pretty storage containers, Penny. I have several, too. Keeping a notebook is a great idea! xo Diana

I also use the lovely boxes that are out there now. I get mine from Michael's craft store when I have a 50% off coupon or when they are on sale. One time they had them 75% off so I bought quite a few! I love to store my tv remotes, magazines, photographs, miscellany in the boxes so out of sight.
ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea!! I have so many things stored under my bed. i do have a log book though of where what is because I would never remember!! Michaels really got some pretty ones in lately and they are having special sales so i shouls go check them out.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!
Hugs,

:) I do the same thing. I love to buy pretty boxes for storage. I don't have as much "stuff" but it's enough to need places to keep things. Under both hutches, under beds...behind drapes...and I NEED A NOTE BOOK! Badly!
ReplyDeleteI have lost things and had them turn up years later. Yep...you smart woman..a note book reminder is a wonderful idea. Which reminds me. I need to visit Tuesday Morning. It's a great place to find neat things!
I love those beautiful boxes, they are so feminine and a great storage place. They are also perfect for your home Penny. I visited your front porch today and couldn't believe what you have done with that fireplace, it's sooooo you!!!! Thank you so much for linkung up!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, wonderful pink treasures!
ReplyDeleteMany hugs from Austria & Happy P.S.

The boxes are lovely to use as storage.. A great idea, thanks for sharing. Have a happy week!
ReplyDeleteI always look at the pretty boxes at Tuesday Morning and never get any. I'm going to have to start with your great idea and store things in sight! The journal is a great idea, too. I'm always where the safe place is that I put what I'm looking for! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI like your pretty storage solutions! What a good idea and especially that journal, I think I may adopt that too, it would save a lot of time searching for things!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas - and the best one is in your last line! I may take a page out of that book!
ReplyDeleteWho knew storage containers could be so beautiful? Happy Pink Saturday!
