Objects Of Design #206: Face Painted Boxes

Smiling faces, happying tidying? Maybe?

Keeping children’s rooms tidy is a perennial problem and I just hate all those plastic boxes. Don’t get me wrong, we’ve got dozens of things  and they’re fine in their own bedrooms but when you have younger children whose toys end up in the living room and kitchen, then it’s good to find something that won’t offend.

These jolly boxes have lids, so they can double up as stools and you can paint them in any colour you wish. I see absolutely no reason why older children wouldn’t be just as happy with them too? They can have them on their desks for papers and stationery. In fact, I may even get them for mine.
