Spoons and forks, or magazines and books...

Here's an idea I used in my daughter's room a few years back. We were updating her room and adding some color the summer before her tenth grade year (she's a college sophomore now.) I saw this utensil caddy at Target and bought it simply because it was the right color. At the time, that was the only reason I bought it - I had no idea what it would eventually hold.

But, a pile of Seventeen magazines on the floor of her room and stacks of books here and there, helped me decide. It became a "literary device." (For my English teacher friends!)

Her friend Nicholas made the initials for the front. Now the stacks of magazines and books are neat and organized. And, because it's so compact, it looks good in lots of spots - on the floor next to a chair, the foot of the bed, or up on her desk or dresser.

Here are a few cute ones selling at Target right now.
