Here's the before...
So one of my ongoing goals is organizing the office/guest room/craft & sewing room. It's not a big room so organizing it so that it can be as multi-functional as possible is a must. A while ago I pinned this image on Pinterest (via IHeart Organizing). There are many things to love about this image, but I immediately knew that I can easily copy one thing. Remember these Asker containers that lined the pews for our wedding? Yea, we have like 20 of these things laying around! We've used some as pots last year but have plenty to spare. So yesterday, I went to get the BYGEL rail and hooks. Call me determined or call me crazy for going to Ikea on a Sunday. :) I was really happy about this project in general because we used to store our collection of sharpies and colored pencils in the office closet (which feels like the magician's hat because things disappear and reappear there regularly). It's always a pain finding where they are because there just isn't a good place for them. Well, not anymore! Here's the before... and here's the after! (I've since moved the speaker behind the computer because that was bugging me.) The best part about this is that I only spent $3 since the most expensive item is the Asker containers. Makes me very happy when we can turn seemingly useless objects into something super functional and pretty. :)

What a neat idea! That's so cool you were able to take a picture and just re-create it in real life.

I'm jumping on the bandwagon of wanting to purchase some Asker containers. I've looked eeeeeeeverywhere for them, with no luck. I'm hoping you still have some lying around and are willing to sell! I'm happy to pay above retail for them. Shoot me an email if you can, it would be SO appreciated!

Ladies! I found some asker containers! I just bought all that I needed so I figured I'd pass the link on because there seem to be a lot of people looking for them! I found them from an independent seller on amazon. Here is the link:

Thanks for the hot tip!! I was looking for at least one small one, but I can't wait to see if these are what I am looking for. I hope so, I plan to plug the hole and use it for my desk. Now to find the hangers!
