If you’re anything like me, out there, you have rolls upon rolls of special paper that you keep in a bucket or something like it, and are always slightly irritated at how much floor space it takes up. When I moved to L.A. I had the wonderful good fortune to set up my very own studio, which is not in my bedroom. I got to paint it and use all the cutesy cottage-deco stuff I’d been collecting over the years. Lovely, lovely. But it’s tiny. Probably about 7 feet by 10 feet. So that floor space got real precious real fast. My solution was this fantastic contraption you see before you- a rack with hooks from Ikea, attached to the wall. I modified clothespins with wire to hang onto the hooks and voila! This is a really convenient solution for paper storage. I also had space on top of the rack for a few heavier rolls. The nice thing about this little project is that it can be done with any kind of rack and hook. Like a grate attached to the ceiling and S hooks, or any kind of chandelier or antique fence piece. Rolls off the floor!!!!
