Rustic Pet Toy Box For Under $15

November 23, 2015 · In: DIY Projects, Organize, Pets

So in the new house, we have three little critters. Two cats and a dog.

Correction, one cat, one dog, and one kitten.

One wild and crazy kitten.

Actually, he might possibly be part panther. Or part monkey.

You’ve seen him here before, and all over my Instagram. This is Anakin.

Yeah, like Anakin Skywalker. From Star Wars. Aside from the critters, I share a home with two Star Wars Super Fans.

Anyway, Anakin is a strange cat. He hates clean.

When I sweep, he pounces into the pile like a child would dive into a mountain of fallen leaves.

When I mop, he intentionally leaves little paw print autographs all over the floor.

When I throw a piece of paper into the trash, he gets it out and rips it into fourteen tiny shreds.

And when I scoop his litter box, he swats at the scooper and flings litter all over the room.

Anakin hates clean.

Good thing he’s cute.

And good thing I’m patient. And loving, And caring. And a good cat mommy.

Okay, so maybe I’m not so patient. But I am all those other things.

So when I saw the toy box at Sadie Seasongoods a few months ago, I knew I had to get one.

I found this awesome box at Michael’s Craft Store on clearance for about seven bucks.

I brought it home, put a light wood stain on it, and distressed it a little.

Some $3 casters from the hardware store make it perfect for rolling under a chair and out of the way.

Usually this would be full of stuffed animals and mice and balls and bells.

But most of them are under the bed. And dresser. And sofa. And who knows where else.

Like I said, Anakin hates clean.

Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pu Sometimes we get busy, maintenance tidying gets pushed aside, or another family member accidentally sabotages the entire area you organized last month.
Instead of stressing over it, take it as an opportunity to redo it better this time. Maybe the way you organized that space before was too complicated and hard to maintain. Or maybe it wasn’t categorized enough so things piled up.
When you find a space that lost its Organization Mojo,  empty it out, try something new, and see if that works better.
You’ll find your own signature organizing style through experimentation and get your home Organized-ish one drawer at a time. 😉

Today on the blog, I’m sharing the exact plans and steps of how I designed this pantry and how my handyman helped me bring it to life.
And if you want a full tour of the pantry, head over to my YouTube channel to look inside all the drawers and cubbies. The pantry starts at timestamp 21:14. 🥰

This tray and these canisters were “supposed” This tray and these canisters were “supposed” to be used in a kitchen. The packaging literally said “kitchen storage canister” and “kitchen turntable” and they were in the kitchen storage aisles of the store. But don’t let those labels feel like you’re stuck with only certain types of organizers for each room.
Next time you’re shopping for organizers, look in other aisles and you’ll be surprised at what you’ll find. Bathroom organizers are great in craft rooms, garage storage is perfect for a home gym, office storage is good for kid’s rooms, and kitchen organizers can be used in bathrooms.
If you’ve been struggling to find the right organizers for your home, it’s time to think outside the box. 😉
