The post Smart Idea: HANDY HOLD-ALL appeared first on Visi.

Remember the days of allocating an entire kitchen drawer for all the basic household tools: tape, glue, scissors, matches and other life-savers? With open-plan living, there’s no space for drawers, and these handy bits and bobs. So we turned some stackable tomato-on-the-vine boxes, found in a greengrocer’s backyard, into a nifty (and cool-looking) storage kit.

All you need

• Tomato boxes. Ours are from Simply Salads in Barberton, but you can find them in any greengrocer’s dump yard. 
• A stencil. We used numbers to identify the boxes, which allows you to change the contents (and your mind). They’re good-looking enough to use in home offices or children’s rooms. 
• Spray paint. We used Sprayon’s quick-drying Flat White, 011 440 2202/3.
