The symmetrical simplicity of ferns makes them a favorite motif. Here, Contributing Style Editor Matthew Mead dressed up lidded boxes-turned-stationery organizers. Purchase the unfinished boxes at a crafts store and paint them with latex paint. Using decoupage medium, cover the flat surfaces with wallpaper or a custom design printed from your computer.
