I am absolutely paranoid of my house looking like a day care. I am constantly trying to find clever ways of hiding things from sight. We have two ottomans (ottomen?:)) in the living room with lids that are removable. This is where we keep toys. Greta is in a huge coloring phase right now. It seems that the crayons are always out on the dining room table. For my birthday this year, my friend dropped off a cookbook, and this lovely box full of gourmet cupcakes.
This lovely, feminine box now houses our crayons!
My first thought when I saw that box…..
“hey, that’s from Hallmark!”
Can you tell that I worked there for almost 10 years?…lol
great idea though. And I am with you, I try to find pretty ways to contain all the kid stuff too!
What a pretty box!! We recieved one of those in a plain color when we had Matthew. I love it and keep all his keepsakes in it! I need to buy more of them. What a pretty idea for storing colors!
