I was getting tired of having to search the deep dark depths of my husbands work bag for all of the important papers that I need so that I can do my work for his office so......
I fancied up this wood box that I found at Hobby Lobby.
Now no one can miss that this is were they need to put the papers that I need!!!!
I am sure that the office gals will like it!!
I painted the ends purple....
and covered the rest with a green polka dot paper using mod podge.
Then I coated the whole thing with 2 layers of mod podge.
I love how it turned out! And now I get all of the papers I need to do my job!

I love what you did! What a great job. I love the contrast of the colors, but yet they go together so well. You did a wonderful job Karlee! Keep up the work.

I love it!! Here in Houston I have a "hurricane box" that is the easy to grab holder of all our important papers... I think it definitely needs a facelift now... and personalized boxes for my kids' junk they each seem to carry back & forth each car trip... sooo many possibilities :)
THANKS!

So cute! I will have to do something similar. I definitely need to organize all the new stuff from Christmas!
this came out great. Did you use mod podge to glue the paper down and did you have to do a lot of sanding? Barbara
