I really enjoy organizing, whether it's one drawer, a closet, or for me this time, the top of the desk that sits in the kitchen.
I had papers stacked on top of the desk and was just sick of seeing them out in the open. It was time to find a home for all these papers, before the kids go back to school and bring home more papers. I decided to buy the really cheap magazine/file holders from Ikea. They come in a pack of 5 for just $1.99. They were just a plain white cardboard so I added some thick muslin fabric, glued right to the front. I got out my scrapbook stash and attached round metal tags to the front with brads, then stamped the contents of each cubby.
After completing these, I realize I could use a few more, one for each kid, and a few others, but first I'll have to make some more room on my desk.

Hi, Michele! LOVE those storage bins covered i muslin, and the tags are cute too. I like that nice, neutral look. :) I'm visiting from The CSI Project. Hope you'll stop by my blog and say hi. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! ;) I just passed on those at IKEA this weekend because they were so plain. I guess you showed me! :D
ReplyDeleteThese are great--I need so much help getting organized! I wish I had an IKEA near me. They have so much great stuff.
ReplyDeleteI so need to do this. My paper piles are taking over! I love how simple, yet really cute these are.
ReplyDeleteYou have a sweet blog. I'm a new follower!
VERY nice! Love that idea. For now, my own storage is... unorganized. I simply throw school papers into an old crate. And I have to dig dearly if I need to retrieve. :)
