Pretty Art Supply Organizer

Wynn has recently begun to color several times a day. This activity involves markers, crayons, colored pencils and anything else that you can make a mark with nowadays.  She loves to sit in her chair from Elizabeth & Co at the living room coffee table. Unfortunately the plastic container I had previously given her was hard to sift through, and it was overflowing which means the lid could not be put on.

I purchased this wooden box at Home Goods last year for $8 on clearance.  
I filled it up with six large mason jars.  Then I got to organizing the markers and other goodies. I have to admit that Wynn has kept it very well organized for the past few weeks. She must take after her mother. :)  It is perfect because now we do not have random supplies rolling off the table and everywhere around the room.


Hooray for organization! The best part is that this box can be used for anything. Maybe in the spring I can use it for flowers on the kitchen counter.

  2. I want one! What a great caddy to organize craft supplies. Currently we are on the plastic bin plan...but now I'll be scouring for a cool rustic box like this one. Great project!

  7. What a cute way to stay organized! And pretty enough to sit out on the coffee table all the time. Glad Wynn is enjoying her chair!
