The arrival of Jet Max Cubes!

I mentioned on my post about my daughter's wedding invitations that during the midst of that fun experience I also was attempting to revamp my craft room, which is also a home office.  I'd been going back and forth on whether I wanted the Jet Max Cubes, the Elfa system from the Container Store, or Expedit and other items from Ikea.  Love them all.  But the deciding factor was when Michaels' had all scrapbook storage items 40% off.  So I am now the proud owner of 12 Jet Max cubes, and I really like them. 

I had a hard time deciding where in the room to put them at first. 



Then I moved them to the other wall, in the hopes of replacing the plastic drawers which have become somewhat warped over the years.

Great!  Now I just need more!


Presto!  Six cubes are now twelve, through the magic of another run to Michaels!!



Drawer dividers!  Gotta love 'em!

Woo hoo!  A great way to wrangle wheels and cartridges!

Hmm.  Didn't know I had so much miscellaneous ribbon.  Now if I could just magically change it all into Stampin' Up! ribbon!!!



My first solution for ink pad storage until......

.... my new Color Caddy arrived!

Of course, I owe a super huge thank you to my wonderful husband for letting me get all of these cubes and then putting them all together for me.  Honey, you're the best!!


Thanks for looking.  I appreciate all of your nice comments!  Happy Stamping!

  3. Sheri, your craft room looks great! I have some of those cubes, but back when I bought them, they didn't have those ones that are half paper storage, half little shelves! I may have to make a run there! Thanks for giving us a peek! Also, thank you for the kind comment on my blog!

  12. Sheri, I love your storage solutions, I use cube style shelves myself, but they are all uniform one size and I use baskets for holding stuff, I love the little drawers and shelves in those units. I don't think they are available in Australia though. : ( Oh well, I'm doing ok. Cheers, Kasey ~ in Oz
