For a long while, this space up in our stairway was empty and I just couldn't figure out what would work in this area.
That is, until now...
This area is still a work in progress, but it is coming along nicely I think!
I added the green lamp which was originally in our dining room on our buffet table and the green covered boxes are cardboard boxes from Office Depot.
They were $1.80 each so I recovered them in green packing paper and will add some fabric and twine to them later to jazz them up a bit.
The boxes are 9" all around and hold my teaching books (I say teaching books because they were in my classroom library when I taught 3rd and 4th grade). Notice the inside isn't all prettied up, but it doesn't matter because no one will see the inside unless they grab a book. :)
So if you ever need good storage for books or things, cardboard boxes from Office Depot are a cheap purchase and can always be jazzed up to fit your home decor.
Thanks for stopping by and I will be back to show you the finished look of the boxes.
It looks great! Thanks for linking up on the Whatever Wednesday Linky Party.

Love that lamp! All my teaching novels are stored in my garage now... now sure what I will do with them now that I teach K/1. Guess I will save them till my kids are old enough to read them? Thanks for sharing your cute space,
