Unless I’m mistaken this one has slipped through
One lot was a cupboard box that contained much of Glover’s collection of negatives from photographs he had taken since serving in the trenches
My childhood companion, Peter, a much-loved panda now in terminal decline, lived out the end of his days carefully wrapped up in a cupboard box
Getting assistance stopped us from having to live in a cupboard box

End of the year lister. There are many more hits out there, too.
Here’s another perspective not far removed.
little accident So after I finished my homework, I went to go make myself some lunch. I opened up the kitchen covert and went to get a plate on the top shelf.
Gamer in the most perfect comma. Sprawled out like a ragdoll in my chair. Nothing at all going on, then all of a sudden I practically fly out of my chair and cling to the ceiling as a loud bang of thunder thumbs above {...} I just now remember having like the creepiest dream. It was dark and I was trying to shut the door to the kitchen covert and it was not locking into place so I was doing it repeatedly. woah

Blog At our house we have kitchen “covereds†and bathroom “coveredsâ€, and upstairs there is even a toy “coveredâ€. A few years ago Hannah had trouble saying “kuh-board†and it became “coveredâ€. When you think about it, the old-fashioned cup-board was not enclosed, so “covereds†is a more accurate description of where we store things.
