The Cubby

Most of you know my Pottery Barn Cubby.  I am still in love with it and change the little squares out with the seasons.  I put some ornaments in the cubbies before Thanksgiving and took a few photos.  Just like last year, if you look hard, you'll see the last ornament for 2012.  It won't be out for a while but it's a little peek.

It looks like my candy cane came off of my Peppermint Twist ornament!  It wasn't sewn on well and now I'll have to figure out a creative way to attach it.  The silhouette is of my dad when he was a boy.  It's a memento I cherish.

And my Boyd's Bears!  I have a lot of those but these are just some of the wintry ones.

Pottery Barn still carries the cubby so if you are interested you can order it online.  They are awesome for holding small stitching pieces.

Old Photos

Remember the cubby that was filled with LHN ornaments?  Well now that spring is knocking on the door I removed the ornaments and added old photos.  Rather than looking for small frames to fit the openings I came up with an idea that may work for you in various ways in your home. 

I started by scanning the photos and resizing them to fit the small box areas.  They were each printed on matte photo paper and mounted onto scrapbook paper that has the weight of card stock.  I didn't use glue.  I used that sticky tape that rolls out of a dispenser because I didn't want the liquid to bend the photo.  The decorative paper was trimmed to make a small frame around the edge of the photo and then the finished pieces were propped to stand in the openings.  Quick and easy!

 

The keepsake silhouette in the top center box is that of my dad when he was a young man. I filled other boxes with my summertime Boyd's Bears, greens and what-knots.  Hanging off the foot of the baseball bear is a finish from "Heart and Home", an LHN design.

I had a lot of emails after posting this cubby the first time.  For anyone still wondering you can get it at the Pottery Barn online.  It comes in a lighter finish too.
