H’s Room Redo – Painted Paper Boxes

This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.

Somewhere in the middle of the party planning, back to school prep, knee surgery recovery and a thousand other things, we started redoing H’s room.  Honestly, this is the room redo that was meant to be like a week and has taken over a month and it is still.not.done.  I’d love to be sharing with you the awesome finished product and her glorious reaction but instead I’m here sharing something a little smaller: painted paper boxes.  Ok, more than a little smaller….

How is that for impact?!  Haha…really, I know this seems like such a small little thing in a giant room redo but it is at least a step in the right direction 🙂

These came  about when I stuck on the couch after surgery and I was DYING to do something…anything…that wasn’t related to watch reality tv or reruns of Law & Order: SVU.  A girl can only take so much.  So, I grabbed had someone get me the little paper mache boxes I had bought and the paint samples I had bought for H’s room.  And I painted…

Once I was done, I had no idea what I was going to do with them until I remember that H has a gazillion hair bow, hair ties, etc.  So, I decided to make these boxes for her hair stuff and tied little labels on the front.

I loaded the boxes up with her favorite hair accessories and sent the others to the bin under the bathroom sink.

I know this is a super small project but I can tell you that, in the moment it was done, I felt like I had just built a house from scratch!  It is the little things 🙂

How do you store you kid’s hair accessories?  Do you find satisfaction in getting small projects done?
