It’s your Thrifty Girl here again to share with you a freebie re-purpose….Remember my visit to Costco a couple weeks ago.. You know the big boxes they provide to pack your items in.. well I’ve been saving the two I brought home… (can you say “hoarder”- because that’s what my son said when I told him to keep them) chuckles…
I had a re-purpose in mind… Little Ms. KoKo needs a bed.. She’s been sleeping on a pillow on the floor (with covers of course) but I figure I’d give her her very own bed….
Here’s the box before…(excuse the paint swatch.. just testing to see if paint would adhere to the box)
I chose a color that would match the family room sofa (since it’s going to be in that room).. It’s a bronze hammered spray paint. So..let the spraying begin! Then I added a few little crystals (given to me from my neighbor/friend Cassie) for a touch of bling. Afterwards, I covered her pillow in a hot pink fleece fabric (scraps given to me from my one of my besties – Sylvia – our local seamstress). Here is my finished product of KoKo’s bed.
Pretty Cool – huh?
The paint on the box almost has a suede effect
Here comes Ms. Koko to check out her new crib..
By George – I think she likes it!!!
Her box looks pretty cool here in the family room..
A freebie upscale to satisfy the little lady
Freebies are so much better…. now I’ve got to get busy with the other box… which is going in my bedroom.. So – in my Terminator voice – “I’ll be back ” 🙂
Pretty! TҺis has bеen an extremely wonderful article.
Тhank yօu foг providing thіs information.
Cute cute…love the idea… Ok, I loved to see you take it one step further and cover the box with faux fur. This is a cute one!
Now I’ve seen this project from the beginning, just a regular box sitting in the den. I thought the box was going to be thrown out, but when I learned that the plan was to take it from a box to queen bed for Ms. KoKo, I couldn’t even imagine that it would be so fabulous! This is pure talent Jamala, a God given talent. GREAT job on this project. Now my question is, can you do something with my bed and make it fabulous too…..lol, but I’m serious? 😉
Fabulous idea. My little girl has three beds and I am forever washing and drying them and then get worn out rather quickly. I love your idea – if it gets worn out it wouldn’t hurt so much to toss it and make a new one. Love It!
That is as cute as a bug’s ear!
what a great idea! I would never have thought of that! and Ms Koko seems to really enjoy the new bed 🙂 too sweet. That gets me thinking of other uses…hmm…..
