On Wednesday I was talking about how I need some sort of organization in my house where when I enter, I can drop off all the crap papers I’ve brought home, my kids have brought home, and that came in the mail.
That same day, I found my solution.
It’s not cheap, I’ll warn you now. To get what I think I want will probably be upwards of $200. But it is a perfect solution. Exactly what I was looking for, and exactly my style to boot.
On Wednesday, Brian at Unclutterer.com posted about how he keeps his project clutter under control. Of course I checked out the link in the post, and I was greeted by this beauty – the elfa Drawer System. It’s amazing. Perfectly sized drawers (letter paper sized) that slide completely out letting you take a project with you (as Brian does), or bring all the bills to the desk (as I would).
There is also a very cool tool that lets you design your own elfa Drawer System – the elfa Custom Drawer Planner. I think the 10″ system will work best for me (with a depth of 20 3/4″ which you can’t find until checkout – the only irritant I’ve found so far), and I want something tall. Something I don’t have to hunch over to reach. Although…setting up four of these in a row would make a nice standing work space for the kids and their homework. Or the 45 1/2″ high one would be a perfect standing work space for me when I’m filling out the paperwork I’ve had to store inside the organizers.
$269.41 is what I would need to save to get this glorious storage solution. That’s about $25/week to be able to buy it in three months. It’s too bad there are so many other demands on my money, or I would do this in a heartbeat. It’s practically perfect!
