Updated Numbered IKEA Boxes
I've always loved IKEA's small storage not only for their price, but for their great selection. Although many of their items are great as is, with a little tweaking they can be amazing. I mean really, who doesn't like a good IKEA hack?
I was drawn to the TJENA boxes for their dark gray color as well as their price, hello $1.49. They came with little matching tags, but I knew I could do better.
I started by cutting thin sheet of balsa into a smaller size then gave them a coat of Minwax Jacobean stain.
Once the stain was dry, I cut the number tags down to size, drilled holes in the wood using a small drill bit then attached the tags with brads.
These updated storage boxes are the perfect addition to my husbands office.

Love these boxes! The wood panel really makes them look much more expensive.
