DIY - Plastic Drawers: From blah to beautiful!

This weekend has been VERY busy.  Brady finally agreed to hire a maid so before she came, we cleaned out and reorganized our entire house. (Thanks to YaYa for helping with Gavin and Kailee's reorganization)!

Our children have tons of toys.  TONS!  Most of the clutter in our home is due to toys.  The cheapest way we have found to store them is to organize them in plastic 3-drawer sets from Wal-Mart.  The problem is, they aren't that attractive and while opaque, you can still kind of see things inside.  Thus, even when the toys are away, it still appears cluttery.

Then inspiration struck!  I used scrapbook paper to line the front of the drawers to make them pretty!  I attached it with scotch tape and masking tape.  Ta-da:
My first and my favorite!

Kailee loves butterflies

I had so much fun making these

This one is my other fave

Another small one

Her room with the decorated drawers!  It looks waaaaay better than before!

Now the inside is a mystery and her room looks neater than ever!  My next project is to get boyish ones for Gavin's drawers.

XOXO,

The Sweetest Thing

Kailee has lately become very interested in my insulin pump site on my stomach.  She calls it my "boo-boo."  The other night, she asked to see my "boo-boo" and proceeded to gently touch it.  She then leaned over and kissed it.  It was the sweetest thing ever!  She knows that Mommy and Daddy kiss her boo-boos to make them all better and she wanted to return the favor for her Momma.  Love her!

XOXO,
