A simple idea for drawers

If you have a desk or dresser drawers, and this is at all, then you probably know how the bottom is constantly collects some debris. For example, in my son's desk drawers can be found on the slate pencils, pieces of Sturkie and other trifles. This litter is inevitable, and often spoils dnisch5a boxes. To avoid this, you can just put on the bottom of the paper.

In any case, it's better than paper. In addition, the piece can be cut out exactly the size of the box.

Boxes for storage

I try all things are laid in cases that there was nothing to see, but in the nursery a small closet, and often on the lid are some toys or box, which had no place. I decided with the help of old wallpaper to use this space for storing, keeping it in order.

What I like about this version? Firstly, it looks neat, no clutter. Second, if necessary, an easy box can be removed and get out of it all that is needed. Finally, these are in harmony with the design of the opposite wall, which is labeled exactly the same wallpaper. And decorative hearts can even sign the content to make it easy to navigate.

And one more idea to use old wallpaper. She came to my mind when I went over the old children's books. I am opposed in principle to throw the book, you do not think bad. But children grow up, and store books-baby has no sense.

One of the books, "Treasure Island" with vivid illustrations, was hopeless. Spine completely torn and worn out edges. But its pages were made of cardboard is very good quality, so that they could be given a second chance
