I also want to pimp my Expedits with fabric or paper. I've seen some great examples, using different prints in the same colour/tones. Mine will be against a plain magnolia wall, so I want it to look interesting.
I need to research how to do it. Can I use scrapbook paper on card or do I need to get plywood? I'd prefer to make individual backs that I can then take out and rearrange as my mood strikes me. If I could use cardboard, I could cut up the moving boxes to fit. Or would that look tacky?
I think scrapbook paper on card would be fine using the moving boxes would be fine if they are smooth enough, but you don't have to have very thick card. Cereal box card if big enough for the square would work ok I think. The way I intend on doing it is have two squares exact size of the Expedit square and then with a strip prob 1.5cm each side of square they will then fold in - so will be like a very narrow box (a bit like a big CD case) then that should stand up ok in the middle, and can change them around as and when required and also have different depth each side of the divider (if you are against a wall you don't even need to have two nice looking sides of the box). I don't think will look tacky at all, and far easier than cutting wood into correct size squares.
I've threatened my gorgeous one that I want my 5x5 to be filled with expensive shoes (I'm sorry but if he is flying all over the world for work, he can buy me shoes!), he laughed, I don't think he thought I was serious - he will learn . He's got the 4x4 (same colour as mine) in his study.
I buy the meatballs to take home (in the food hall) along with the frozen potato mix.
I haven't been to the new store yet, I did enough damage at Richmond.
