DIY campaign style boxes

I mentioned before that I wanted to start incorporating a little orange into my office space.  I started with this orange pillow and then I thought it would be nice to add a touch of orange to my sewing table.  The boxes I had worked just fine and were the perfect size.  However, they were an after Christmas clearance find and they had that fakey Christmas gold look going on.  I decided to grab some orange spraypaint and make them over.  

Here they are before, they're the gold ones on the bottom.

I used some of this to fix them up.

They still looked like they needed something so I gave them a little campaign inspired makeover.  I picked up these corner braces at Lowe's for a few dollars.  If you want to do all four corners you will need one pack per box.  

Then, I searched my stash for some scrapbooking brads.

I gave both pieces a coat of gold spraypaint, because we all know I love gold and then just attached them to the corners of the boxes.  It's a subtle touch, but I like the little details.
