Quick Change

I found this white faux crocodile/snake/lizard (?) skin covered box in a thrift store recently.

It turns out it was a silverware box.

I didn't need a silverware box but I bought it anyway because I knew it would be an easy makeover project.

I tore out the insides and used them as a template to remake the inside of the box with new fabric and a stiff mat board.

Once I cut the pieces to size, I covered them with fabric and put the box back together.

I haven't decided yet how I am going to use it but I am considering using it on our coffee table to corral some of the mess that accumulates there. I love quick projects like this one. The whole process took under an hour and these days that is about all of the time I have!

You do the BEST makeovers! And you make it seem simple which I'm sure it's not with two little ones. Love it!
