Decorating with Storage Totes I moved recently ...

Decorating with Storage Totes I moved recently into a hi rise coop. I have a nice size balcony. I have about 21 storage totes out there because I have no room inside. I used 2 totes as seats decorated with fabric and atop it with pillows. Beautiful, got lots of compliments. Now for the balcony, I need ideas on decorating with the storate totes, i.e. borders, seat arrangement, tables, plant stands, etc. Any ideas?

Smile, it's contagious!

I'm in a similar situation in a small one bedroom duplex. So, for an end table I use a typing table (called a machine stand today)for an end table and put a tote under it with extra small appliances. Fits good. In the bedroom had wasted space at end of dresser so a tote is in that with a waste basket on top. Makes it easier to use paper shredder. Another in the living room is perfect for a printer stand. It could be covered with a small tablecloth to disquise the tote. Another could hold a table lamp with some reading materials. Between a couple chairs would work for a sm table in your patio. Plant stand is a great idea to use 3 together arranged like a T to hold lots in any one area or a corner. Use some in closet to hold sweaters & the like. One or two stacked could even be used for soiled clothes hamper. Hide one or two behind a chair if it sits in a corner of room. Even try using one as a hassock with a cushion on it. If you have a picnic table in patio use as benches at ends of table. Hope this helps. --- C1
