photo box

i've been in need of a new photo box for awhile now. i mean, i know what i had was aesthetically pleasing, but it just wasn't functional. 

so, on our weekend trip to dallas, we stopped by an ikea where i grabbed two kassett boxes (two of them for five bucks)! and i knew exactly where they were going..

so, i killed two birds with one stone by organizing my photos and cards, and brightening up the dark void of the entertainment center.

i've had plans for that big brown box since i bought him almost a year ago. he's exactly twelve inches wide (perfect for my future sofa table), and will look great with a bright coat of paint.
