Fall Entryway DIY Storage Bins
Create a Cozy, Feminine Fall Entryway with DIY Storage Bins Transform a simple entryway into a warm, welcoming storage space. These easy DIY bins tuck away autumn layers while adding a soft, feminine touch
Step 1:
I started with gray wooden storage bins from a local craft store. Each bin already had a chalkboard surface, making it easy to add labels as needed. I first primed the bins before painting them.
Step 2:
Once the bins were primed, I gave them a cheerful pink finish using paint I already had in the garage. I applied two coats of pink paint, allowing each coat to dry completely before adding the next.
Step 3:
Using leftover wallpaper I had on hand, I cut three squares to fit the bin's three panels. I glued the wallpaper onto each panel, leaving the fourth section open as a chalkboard surface for writing labels.
I used a small paintbrush to touch up any missed spots, then let the bins dry completely.
Step 4:
To create a cozy fall theme, I labeled the chalkboard panels Pumpkins, Pinecones, and Mums. Then I added scented pinecones, painted pink pumpkins, and burgundy and pink artificial mums for a warm, welcoming entryway.
I love these bins so much that I can see myself using them in other areas of my home.
