I had a problem in my bedroom with gaming gear. Imagine that, lol! Ahem, anyway I needed somewhere to keep the extra controllers, cables, adapters, and head sets of the sort. We certainly are gamer dorks in my household. I thought this up and though it is super basic of an idea I wanted to share it here to show the impact and individual statement you can make in your own space with basically paper (scissors), some modge podge (paint brush), plain wooden boxes from the craft store, and a screw driver to remove and replace hardware.
I found these to be of the best size and sturdiness at my hobby lobby, and although I didnt like the handles I knew the holes of their absence wouldnt show : )
Pretty plain but they aren't actually "pretty".
I removed the hardware but left the hinges. That would be up to you whether you would want to or not, I had debated it but decided to leave them in the paper glueing phase. : ) The larger used three 12x12 pages and the smaller used two. At this point (below) I replaced the hardware over the attached paper to use the same holes and not have to find them blindly.
And here is the finished set : ) Originally I was going to use use a different paper for the smaller one (one that probably matched the paper of the larger better) But I fell in love with it and couldn't help myself from using it. It reminds me of a vintage 45 case : P ...... the yellows match and they are from the same paper pad, lol. I did coat the boxes in the end with a layer of the modge podge as a varnish of sorts and that itself intensified the colors really nicely and the paper is sealed from damage of normal use : )
