Dismantling + Organizing

June 18, 2012
We're moving. Again. This time it's into a house that we will own. I can't be more excited about the new adventure that lies ahead. We'll be out of our current place in two weeks, so we're already starting our plan of attack on what should get packed and when. I'm pretty sure my studio and the kids' room will be the last to get packed, but my productivity is waning just thinking about all of the stuff I have to move. While I was blankly staring at my studio (as I often do - what a time suck) I thought I'd share this organizational discovery that I made not too long ago. I've been on the hunt for a good storage method for my rolled papers, but I couldn't seem to find anything that fit. Either the dimensions were off or the price was ridiculous for something so simple. While passing the bathroom section at Ikea, I had a brain wave and snatched up a cheap laundry bin for my solution. It was $10 and fits more than all of my rolled papers. And it's plain, boxy and white. Does Ikea house all of the solutions to my life's problems? Perhaps.
