Pretty Closet
Were there more important things to do today? Probably.
{1 12″ square scrapbook paper, cut in half, and double stick tape per drawer. I’ve had some of these scrap pieces of paper for over two years, and now they are living out their dreams hiding my art supplies and tools.}

OMG! I love LOVE that idea. I have so many left over strap paper that I had no idea what to do with! Now I know what I am going to be doing this weekend. I can’t tell you how many of those types of containers I have that I constantly are trying to hide because you can see what’s inside!
thanks for the idea!
@Katie – YAY! Glad my procrastinating could help someone… :)
oh wow. so fresh. i LOVE
These are beautiful! Ok, this is the devil’s advocate side of me: How do you now know what’s in each bin? I love your idea, but I’m always wanting to go to stuff quickly in my clear bins! :o(
Just a silly question. I think they’re great.
@Ronique – I use these bins near daily, so I know what’s in them, but you’re right – if it’s something you don’t get to often, you may need labels.
I think I am going to steal this idea but I will have to add labels for whats behind the pretty paper specially since I am trying to get one kiddo to read!
Maybe I’m nuts, but I always think making your storage more attractive is a useful way to spend time.
‘Course, I actually plan to dust the tops of my spices. So much so, that I put it on my To Do list.
Ok, maybe I’m nuts.

Ps: the baby’s room looks excellent, Brooke.
So pretty! Little things like this have BIG impact. Nicely done :)
That looks so great! I think it was totally worth your time :)
Very clever, and making things pretty is never procrastination when you’re in the design biz, right? Love this idea! Thanks!
Adorable! You need your own show on TLC brooke!!
I did these to several bins I bought at Ikea and love the way they look. Mine are just delineated by papers and fabrics (two large bins), so I just have my favorite paper taped inside the paper bin, and my favorite fabric inside the other. Fun, fun.
So simple, and so brilliant! I’ve been trying for a year to get my boyfriend to move his bin into the closet, but now I will just camouflage it with pretty paper!
That looks so fun! What a great idea.
I LOVE this idea…I am definitely going to refer to your blog on this one! I’m a total organizer and love these things, but have the same dilemma of seeing TOO much! Super smart!
