So back to the Expedit. We have 4 magazine holders but only one actually holds magazines (all my Martha ones). The other 3 have other cool jobs.
Okay, before anyone gets too excited I'm just getting started on organizing with the Expedit. So it's not done. At all. So keep your expectations low. Here is how it looks. I guess it's not too bad considering it looked like this the other day? Actually I have no qualms with the way the old bookcase looked. It's nice. I love the white and the legs. It's just that we really need more storage space and I knew that I want to take advantage of the unused vertical space available. So back to the Expedit. We have 4 magazine holders but only one actually holds magazines (all my Martha ones). The other 3 have other cool jobs. One holds all our printing paper, Avery labels, resume paper, etc. The second one is holding our construction paper. And that folder at the end holds all the construction paper scraps. And the last one holds our gift bags and manila envelops. And all that fits in one shelf! Amazing right? I was pretty surprised how roomy these magazine holders are! I was pretty sure I couldn't squeeze all the construction paper in one, but they fit quite comfortably! I am so pleased with this arrangement. Definitely a space saver! Wish I did this earlier. I also organized my fabric in a nice wire basket that I got years ago from Crate & Barrel. It's perfect. I love it. I should get another one to put in another shelf so it'll look balanced. I do need a glue holder! I have like 4 bottles of fabric glue, tacky glue, etc. So the other wire basket can hold my glue. :) And... that's pretty much all I did. The rest of the white boxes already have stuff in it like mailing supplies (stamps, address labels, etc) and other important stuff. :) So all I did was stack them . They may change around as I go along. And before you feel too happy for me, here's what our office looks like now. Yea, it looks like the closet vomited its contents on the floor. But I'm really happy because there will be so much more room to store things! So I'm looking forward to clearing things out and finally organizing the closet!
