May I introduce you to my newest storage solution? These are fabric covered boxes, made to hold holiday decorations. The idea is for the contents to be obvious by the box "decor" ... It seem to be forming a habit of making some craft for each holiday and they didn't really have a place, and everything needs a place. So, I decided to give new life to some old shoe / gift boxes by covering them in cute fabrics.
Which holidays do you think these boxes represent?
Pink & red = Valentine's Day, and
Red white & blue = Memorial Day & 4th of July!
They are big enough to hold all those random holiday trinkets (like the stuff from the dollar bin at Target that I cannot help but go to).

You see, part of my laundry room is really organized but part is not. For months, I've been shoving stuff on the shelves. In my recent spring cleaning / organizing mode, I couldn't handle it anymore. I decided I wanted boxes that made it obvious what was inside.
If you like them too, then please vote for this in our challenge! And if you want to make your own, just keep reading :)
I think it'd be fun to embellish with ribbon, buttons, etc and use them for gift boxes (like for a new baby, or a wedding present). Here are a couple of other ideas for these boxes (I'll probably do some of these as my spring cleaning fit continues to plague me):
- boxes for Christmas cards (for each year, with the year on the box)
- boxes to hold gifts / box as the gift.
- boxes for each year of child's life (mark it w/ the number) ... to hold cards, pics, etc.
