You'd think my office/sewing room would be fairly organized . . . well it's not! and here's the proof!

| Ribbons Before |
Try as I might it seems the busier I am the worse it looks. And for today I'm sick of not being able to find the right ribbon when I need it!

| Here's a pic of the Wall Cabinets Before. |
As you can see the closets/storage in this room are identical to the ones in the basement bedroom (see "Closetmania" just finished). This office/sewing room was completed some time in 2008 and when the cabinets were first installed it seemed to be "enough" storage but . . . I'm still piling things on the desk or under it so there's no where to really "work". The cabinets on the side where I'm going to put the ribbons are only 12" deep (top and bottom) for efficient use of space and eliminating any problems getting in and out of the entry door.
Starting with cleaning off the lower cabinet (leaving the printer in its place - remember small spaces) and a trip to the basement for the right tools (notice I brought more than one screw driver this time -but didn't have the right screws the first time down) and with curtain rod and ceiling hooks in hand I begin to measure. . .

| Screw Drivers and Screws |
 |
| Some of the pieces required - note I didn't have to use the plastic plugs and drywall screws because I wasn't going in to the ceiling! |
 |
| Ensure the screws actually fit in the holes without going through the other side |
 |
| Ensure the screws won't go through the top of the shelf |
 |
| Measure where the first hook went so the one on the other side matches up |
 |
| And Voila! |
I'm only disappointed that now you can't see the positive thought behind the ribbons!
TOTAL COST: $32.00 (Rod and Hardware) Storage Boxes previously purchased
TOTAL TIME: 1 Hour (Including several trips up and down the stairs AGAIN to get all the tools I needed)
I'd love to hear your ribbon storage ideas or if this inspired you!
Love it! Looks like a store.....I'm going to do it in my basement....have the perfect spot.....thanks for the inspiration, it's daily with you! Keep on going chickie pooh, you rock!
ReplyDeleteI love that idea, too, of the curtain rod being used as a space saver for the ribbons. And they're right at hand. Very convenient and lends colour to the cabinets, too.
