A few weeks ago I made an organizer for my daughter’s desk, you remember this lovely.
Πριν από λίγες εβδομάδες έκανα ένα διοργανωτή για το γραφείο της κόρης μου. Θυμάστε αυτό το όμορφο;
Well, that pink container was really bugging me. You know how you can get the silliest thing in your mind and it won’t let you rest until you correct it. That’s what happened with me. It just would not do – the pink had to go!
Λοιπόν, αυτό ροζ δοχείο ήταν πραγματικά ενοχλητικό. Ξέρετε πώς μπορείτε να βάλετε το πιο ηλίθιο πράγμα στο μυαλό σας και δεν θα σας αφήσει να ξεκουραστεί μέχρι να το διορθώσετε. Αυτό συνέβη με μένα. Απλώς δεν γινόταν - το ροζ έπρεπε να φύγει !
Enter these guys. They are shorter than the originals.
Εισαγάγωντε
αυτοί οι τύποι. Είναι μικρότεροι από ό,τι τα πρωτότυπα.
Let’s dress them up with matching contact paper.
Ας τους ντύσουμε με αυτοκόλλητο χαρτί που ταιριάζει.
Don’t they look just gorgeous??? There is enough color in there with the markers, the black and white is perfect!
Δεν φαίνονται απλά υπέροχα ??? Υπάρχει αρκετό χρώμα εκεί με τους μαρκαδόρους, το μαυρόασπρο τέλειο!
Before: Πριν:
And so I can sleep easily once again, knowing that I have banished the pink container from the room! It’s the little tweaks that make me happy! But what about that lamp shade with all those colors. It looks like it is having an identity crisis! Back to work!!
Και έτσι μπορώ να κοιμηθώ ήσυχα για άλλη μια φορά, γνωρίζοντας ότι έχω εξορίσει το ροζ δοχείο από το δωμάτιο! Είναι αυτά τα μικρά πράγματα που μου δίνουν χαρά! Αλλά τι γίνεται με αυτό το πορτατίφ με όλα αυτά τα χρώματα. Μοιάζει να έχει μια κρίση ταυτότητας! Πίσω στη δουλειά!!

Yup, looks much better with the pink one gone. Love the b&w contact paper is perfect! Thanks for sharing with SYC.
hugs,
Jann
It;s all in the details! 😉
I absolutely love simple ideas that completely transform something.
It is really simple plus we get to use the cans instead of throwing them out!
I agree that new all matching containers looks nicer. So funny how one little pink container bugs you, but I truly understand. You like what you like.
Great little makeover.
I’ve become a pain in the butt is what I am Leanna. I used to be worse but then kids came along and messed up my perfectly color coordinated life. 😉
Isn’t it funny how little things can be SO irritating.
I love simple fixes like this.
I can seriously drive myself crazy sometimes!
Love your re-do Mary and I have to redo my organizer too
It never ends, we always have to re-do the re-dos!
Wow, what a fabulous idea. They came out great. I like the contact paper design too.
Simple and super cheap!
What a great idea. And it looks beautiful,
Thanks Karie, its a great way to use up all those old cans that normally we would throw out and then go buy more stuff.
Really a neat and cute idea! I love it! #SeniSal
Thank you Silvia!
I love upcycle crafts like this! Making something useful of leftover items.
Exactly nothing goes to waste around here.
Mary, much better without the pink (I, too, get bugged by crazy little things!). But I think I’d leave the lamp alone – it’s really quite cute!
I can get rather silly with these things sometimes Jean. Before kids I was even worse but now I’ve learned to let a lot of things slide.
Sometimes it’s the smallest tweaks that make the biggest difference.
Sandra it is so true. and those little things can drive you crazy.
The organizer looks very nice! I like the black & white pattern with the solid blue on the box. Just in time for back-to-school and all those wonderful homework assignments!

Exactly Carol. My daughters have desks full of useless stuff but at least they are organized!
What a smart idea to cover those with contact paper! They look grat!
Thank you so much for sharing this at Something to Talk About!
Karen
They look much better now! Thanks for visiting Karen, see you next week!
That is a cute idea and I love that you used contact paper. A great way to coordinate a dorm room too for all those heading away to school.
Elizabeth, this could easy fit in a dorm room. Trying to coordinate as much as possible, I even painted the lamp white to match. Thanks for visiting.
I couldn’t live with that pink container, either! It might function as-is, but I like everything to match 🙂
Very cute idea!
Jenny I’m not normally so crazy, but there were too many colors in the room already and it was making me dizzy…lol
I love the decorative paper around the cans. Great way to add some pizzaz! Visiting from the Monday Linkup =) http://www.ourfoodieappetite.com
Thanks Kait for visiting and for y our sweet comment. I’ll be visiting next Monday too!
Hi Mary!
I am the same way with those silly little things. 🙂 It’s kind of annoying sometimes, but I admit things always look better after I take care of them! Thanks for partying with us at Talented Tuesday!
Cheers,
AJ
Thanks for visiting, and yes, I can sleep better now no more annoying pink.
It’s amazing how handy cans can be (great re-purpose) & how much better they look covered!
Would love to have you join us at our first ever Reader Tip Tuesday: http://www.jodiefitz.com/2017/08/01/reader-tip-tuesday-along-new-food-craft-party/
I know it’s wednesday, but we’re keeping it WIDE open this week & continuing the invites for our first couple of weeks to keep everyone’s posts getting more peeks. Have a great week & hope to see you there. Have a GREAT week
Jodie I just popped over.. Good luck with your party and I will try and join up every week as long as I have appropriate content.
I never thought about using contact paper on the cans (I’ve used duct tape before). Looks great!
Duct tape is also great. I’ll have to try that next time.
I adore this idea. Beautiful! What I like most, the fact I can create matching desk organizational sets, and matching book covers in our study.
Yes Ivory the possibilities are endless! Just use your favorite contact paper and match it with some fabric if you want.
nice
Such a simple idea but so effective! I’ve got to sort out all my pens and stationary so i’m off to look for some fancy paper 🙂 Thanks for linking up to #frifree4all
Hayley, it was a no brainer, I’m only sorry I didn’t think of it sooner.
It is funny when one little thing just doesn’t fit! The redo looks really nice. Thank you for sharing at the #HomeMattersParty. Looking forward to seeing you again next week.
Thanks Jane for visiting. Yes, this little pink container was bothering me to no end! I will see you at the wonderful link party as I have been for the past month now!
