FOR THE LOVE OF CUBBIES !!!


I WAS INSPIRED FOR THIS PROJECT BY ALL
THE GREAT CUBBY HOLE ORGANIZERS THAT I ALWAYS
SEE ON THE POTTERY BARN WEBSITE...
LIKE THESE...

Cubby Organizer - Weathered WhiteCubby Organizer, Natural stain

Vintage Metal Wall-Mount Cubby

THESE CUBBY ORGANIZERS RUN FROM $60-$129
WELL MINE IS A 9 HOLE CUBBY ORGANIZER
AND IT DIDNT COST
ME ANYWHERE NEAR THAT..

I PICKED MINE UP AT THE THRIFT STORE &
HERE IS WHAT IT STARTED OUT LIKE.

BEFORE...
I HAD A PIECE OF THIN WOOD CUT FOR
THE BACK, NAILED IT ON AND THIS
IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH.

AFTER...








I PUT IT ABOVE MY DESK AND  I PUT
SOME OFFICE THINGS AND VARIOUS
TREASURES ON IT...
I LOVE IT ITS GREAT FOR STORAGE
AND HAS THE POTTERYBARN FEEL TO IT...
I FOUND ACTUALLY ANOTHER ONE
BUT A LITTLE SMALLER.. I WILL BE DOING
THAT ONE AS WELL , MAYBE FOR MY
BATHROOM....

ME LIKEY, DO YOU LIKEY ?

    I've seen this cubbies at Goodwill and could only see tea cups in them but I love your color choice and how you made it more modern. I'm going to be on the look out for one of these now..I've got an idea in my living room that I've been struggling with and this is exactly what I need to do. Wonderful project!

    looks great! I've been looking for something like that with little cubes for a toy area in the nursery. I'm going to have to hit up some garage sales and see if I can find something.

    and I have passed on many of those at the thrift stores. LOVE your idea. I ended up finding one of the Pottery Barn ones at a used furniture store for $60.00. It was kind of high, but has like 30 open slots.

    Love it.
    Was looking for one to display my husbands stuff in his office, searched forever for the right one, found it, then found two more. One in my office and one I'm going to use in my dining room. GREAT idea! And I love the colours your using.

    Oh my gosh, please don't hate me, BUT where is the color. You know I ADORE your pieces, but I know you can make this out of this world cute, cuter shall I say, will you even consider it. Or do you love it like this. In which case kindly tell me to shut it, he he. I hope you don't get mad at me, you know I love ya, I think I just got spoiled with all your incredible color choices, and this was so not like you, it freaked me out, lol.

    So come on cubbies, talk to your mama, and tell her you want a splash of blue, or green, or red, he he.

    Love ya girl!!!!

    Hugs, Bella :)

    I would, hehe.

    (shoulder shrugging, looking all shy)

    Hugs,
