I just love how soft and textury and homey they are.. Well, I was tempted to make another one for Fall this year.
The best thing about this little “project” (if you can call it that), is that you don’t need to take it apart at all!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... And that mason jar light?
You can read a little more about it.Do you ever feel like you’re really good at decorating for some seasons, but really not so good at others?.This is my not so good season.. First of all, Spring and Easter are all about cutesy, and I’m not so talented with the cutesy execution.
I just can’t make it work.Also, I kind of feel like I need to be able to pull in natural elements to get things going, and right now, there are none.
