Chris and I have a SERIOUS storage problem at our house. Like... we don't have....ANY. We have one measly little closet that we share for our clothes. Which would be fine in a world where men have less clothes then women, but when your husband is a trendy fashionisto who loves shoes and finely woven garments it doesn't leave a girl much room for all her goods. I'm mostly kidding, we actually do share our small space pretty well. Needless to say, there is not much room for storage in the dull house. So, this weekend we went out looking for some organizational fixes. We set out to find:
1. A file box
2. A shelving unit for above the toilet
3. office shelving
After aimlessly wandering the aisles of target, looking at particle-board product after particle board product, we ended up leaving in huff while simultaneously professing our hatred for Big-box stores, corporate America, and the fact that nothing is well made anymore. Dramatic, I know.
We decided to head down to our neighborhood junk-store-that-sells-slightly-sometimes- majorly-overpriced- junk to look for some more unique organizational options. We found the answer to our storage woes lying in a heap of old apple crates, canada dry boxes, and planks of weathered wood. We spent less money, achieved a unique look, and supported a local quirky environmentalist and his funky little shop.
Here's what we came up with:
