Lunch Box Storage on Bedroom Dresser
I’ve been trying to come up with creative storage solutions around the house.
This photograph shows the dresser top in my bedroom.
While cleaning out the basement, I came across this old plastic lunch box.
Lunch Box Storage Container
Instead of tossing the old lunch box out, I decided to recycle it for use in the bedroom.
I have a lot of small boxes on my dresser top which are a real issue to move every time I dust. Now with my lunch box storage solution, I can just pick up the lunch box and move everything at once.
The lunch box storage solution holds a bunch of items like batteries, pens, flash lights, cards, and a even a book reader.
It’s also nice that the lunch box is made of plastic, so it will not scratch the top of my wooden dresser.
Large Holiday Bowl
In the above photograph, the large holiday bowl is printed in red and green plaid print. The bowl has a nice pine cone design in the bowl bottom and around the sides.
I washed the dirty silk marigold flowers so they are not in this photograph.
Cleaning Dusty Silk Flowers – Bonus Feature
I think I talked about this in a previous blog, but you can usually hand wash your silk flower arrangements.
I make sure my kitchen sink is very clean without any grease sticking to the sides.
I fill the sink with cold water and add a drop or two of dish detergent.
Scrub the Sink Clean
Cold Soapy Water
I then take the silk flower arrangement and do a quick swish or two in the soapy water. This should get off all the dust. Then I quickly rinse the silk flowers under cold running water.
Be sure to try this out first on a single bloom since sometimes the silk flower dye will start to run in water.
Hang the flowers upside down to dry. If you hang the wet silk flowers outside, they should dry pretty quickly.
