Think Outside the Cardboard Box

• Related • Filed Under •

Tackle clutter with canvas collapsible containers. You can find them at Amazon, Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Stacks and Stacks , Linens and Things, the Container Store, and several places online. They work for me, I use them in almost every room:

They come in pretty colors too like this Simply Shabby Chic™ Canvas Storage Bin in Rose fabric.

Here’s some fun storage boxes from West Elm (out of my price range but this gave me the idea to decorate my boxes. If I figure out how I’ll let you know).

Ikea has some unique boxes and great prices.

The Container Store has several options.

Hi. I on numerous occasions announce this forum. This is the oldest culture unequivocal to ask a ridiculous.

Can I bank all the advice that there is?
Comment by Melody :

I’ve been using those canvas boxes more and more myself as well. Wish I could afford to get all the cabinets and boxes I want at one time, rather than a piece or two here and there!

Gotta comment on the curtains in picture one though. Those are so adorable! If I had a window in my laundry room, those would so be hanging in there! (As my yankee relatives would say, “Oh fer cute!”
