One note &#8211; in that article, she wraps the boxes in wrapping paper before mounting them on the backing. Me, I think I&#8217;d just spray paint the whole arrangement. But either way would work. <\/p>\n<p>And either way would (1) be free (or practically free, if you have to buy some paint, or maybe glue). And (2) it would give you a jump start on organizing all those odds and ends you keep *saying* you&#8217;re going to organize. <\/p>\n<p>Do it! It&#8217;ll look great, it&#8217;ll help clear away clutter, and it&#8217;s cheap &#8211; or free!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found another great idea over at Design Sponge &#8211; truly one of the best inspirational sites you can find.
