Frugal Friday

This one may not apply to everyone, but for those of us with little ones still using diapers, pull-ups or wipes- I tend to buy these things in the largest packs they have, LOL, which means they come in boxes. I use to throw these boxes away, and then when we were in the process of packing to move I started saving them to use for smaller items. After we moved I realized we had a TON of these boxes, and ever since then I cannot bring myself...

I also really like the contrast of the dark wood with the bold colors. The living room has really become such a comfortable...
