I have been wanting to do something to cover the hideous beige box that houses our doorbell in our hallway for quite some time now. At first I thought I would find a decorative box to hang over it but after looking for a little while, I decided that making my own would be much more fun and I could make it however I wanted it. I took a trip to Walmart and picked up a set of 3 boxes, the largest being just over 5'X7' and 2.5' deep. I also grabbed some wood letters and a placard to pretty it up a little bit. We have plenty of left over paint from our walls in the house so I used white and blue, the same colors that I used on the stool I made for Max for his birthday. The whole project took me about an hour, plus an half hour to let the glued pieces set. I am really happy with how it came out. Here is the step-by-step of the project:
