Here's an idea that so simple and pretty, we wish would have thought of it ourselves. These delightful tins, by [ekoh]designs are repurposed tins covered with paper and transformed into lovely bits of storage.

The Aviary Lovin' Tins, seen above, are hand stamped and coated with a non-toxic sealant so they are perfect for the kitchen or children's room. We love the fun aviary pattern and color palette.
The Flutter Tins are a quart and pint set and feature a butterfly and polka dot pattern.
Bluegrass Bug Tins come in complimentary blue, green and white paper patterns. Perfect for storing little treasures.
Finally, there's the Central Park Tins, which give a nod and wink to Bambi.
Each tin set is $12. For more tins and other items, visit ekoh]designs.
Those are adorable.
