What to do in a cluttered entryway?


From a plain white cube to a place to hide shoes in the foyer:
After assembling cube scuff up the outside surface with sand paper. Apply

decoupage with a roller working in small 1x1 areas. Rip tissue paper and

crumble. Uncrumble paper and apply to wet areas, overlapping where

necessary. When section is covered apply decoupage over top of paper and

move to next section. Cut fabric double the width of the opening to allow

enough fabric to gather and add 8 inches to the length to have enough to

wrap over wood. Once edges of fabric are finished (sew or use no sew

tape),cut a 1x3 board long enough to fit inside the cube across the top.

Staple
fabric to the board and screw the board into the top of the cube.

I have detailed photos of this process, if you are interested, post in the
