The Great Wall of Storage
I love me some built-ins, and check this out… Need to store something? I think there is plenty of room here, in this great wall of storage. Sandra at Sawdust and Paper Scraps has organized this room quite well, check out her new wall of storage……
I said I wanted to finish it in one week. Thought it would probably take three. It really took five, but who’s counting? After wasting the last 5 days shopping for baskets, trying them out, shopping some more, trying some more and returning all the ones I didn’t want…I’m finally done.
Here’s what I did.
This is the wall of choice. (For reference, the playhouse is on the same wall as that door on the left.)
I sketched a plan and started building.
Ha ha ha… I just threw together a quick sketch of what I wanted. Didn’t draw anything to scale. My original plan was 2 shelving units with a craft counter in between. Clearly that “in between” space is too wide. I took a pencil and drew right on the wall to get a real size visual of my plan B. (You may have to enlarge to see it.)
Built some more.
Maddie helped me iron on the edge banding.
