You are going to adore how the boxes look with the makeover, letting you house all you books, notebooks and magazines with utmost grace. Without even costing you much extra, the project is put together using some Ikea Knuff magazine file boxes, some white chalk paint, sand paper, a few drawer pulls, some pieces of thin chipboard or sturdy cardboard, and a screwdriver.

Once the texture of the boxes becomes even and smooth with a little sanding, you need to coat them with a few layers of chalk paint, further getting an intended worn out look with sanding off the paint a little bit and exposing the original texture of the boxes. The numbers painted on the magazine boxes and those antique-looking handles add the final touches of finesse to the construction, and voila! Urban Cottage Living takes you through the process of making the boxes with a few easy-to-forge steps.

Who would ever imagine that an ordinary cheese grater has got so much more to itself than grating cheese alone? Not only will this incredible kitchen tool work wonders as an organizer, but also look equally chic and trendy when serving the purpose.

What will help the grater turn into the organizer is a piece of reclaimed wood and a chain – this guide by Home Road attaches the grater to a reclaimed wine crate side, further adding a chain to hang it on the wall. You can install it in the kitchen with the tool inverted upside down and use it to store spoons, knives and forks, while hanging kitchen towels on its handle.

Another amazing way to put it to use is to drop a jar inside and throw in some fresh or fake flowers, making the kitchen so much more pretty-looking. Whatever the purpose your version of the organizer is serving, you can always attach cute little notes and reminders to the grater as the metallic built sports magnetic properties. Get inspired by the quick guide and work up the organizer that combines farmhouse charm with clever upcycling, that too in a totally mess-free and hassle-free fashion.

A little dose wood and its earthy textures makes it a piece of cake to integrate a cherishing farmhouse essence to just about anything when it comes to home decor or storage solutions. And this storage unit is yet another example that proves the statement to be absolutely true.

The super functional farmhouse storage unit is actually worked up with manufactured cabinets and involves simply framing them in wood to get the desired farmhouse appeal. The special thing about the units is that they can be arranged vertically or horizontally according to the kind of space you can reserve for them.

The makeover is going to require 2 cabinets, a piece of plywood, wooden boards for framing, a good stain of your choice, a sealer, tapered wooden legs, some wood glue, a hammer, a few nails, an electric drill, a screwdriver, a countersink drill bit, a handful of flathead screws, measurement tape, pencil, and some clamps to get everything done right from the very scratch. While the units come with smaller compartments, adding smaller shelves to one or more of the compartments is a great idea too.
