But seriously, saving those precious seconds made all the difference between me putting off doing the job for weeks and months and actually enjoying getting it done in just a weekend!.
In fact, if there are a few boards loose from you trying to pull them out, go ahead and get a hammer and pound them back into place.If you have a really old one with a few boards missing, that’ll work just fine too!.
All you’ll need to do is take it into whatever room you store your wrapping paper in, stand it up next to the wall, and you have a perfect little “bin” to hold all your rolls of wrapping paper.And it only takes up about 5″ of space off the wall..I keep rolls of paper in one side and a big gift bag filled with other gift bags and tissue paper in the other side.
You could even secure it to the wall if you wanted to, but I found it wasn’t necessary at all for me.. I’ve been looking for a good way to store my gift wrap for years and finally I’ve found something that looks good (if you love all that rustic wood, and I do), and is totally functional.Even though the only rolls of paper I usually have on hand are for Christmas, I think they’re pretty and I like to keep them out in plain view all year so I can enjoy their cuteness..
Yes, this back hall/storage area still has weird purpley paint and dark brown baseboards, but that doesn’t mean I can’t have cute storage.. And, don’t go thinking this idea is just for wrapping paper.
Just think of the possibilities!Like my new couch cushions?
They have real down inserts and they were a huge splurge for me.Luckily I had a gift card or else we would not be here enjoying them together..
This is how the dining room table looks right now.. A little egg tower I made last year.I just don’t have that kind of patience for long-term crafting this year with all these boxes left to be unpacked and organized, so I’m glad it survived and I can still use it!.
