Mwahhh-haha! My craftroom is almost complete!

My paper trays that I ordered have finally come in!  (It sounds like I had to wait forever but I really just ordered them on the 7th...lol.)  Well at least one of them came in.  I am still waiting for the other one to come in the mail.  It'll probably come tomorrow...cross your fingers for me. :)

I searched far and wide for a paper tray system.  One with efficient storage capacities that still takes up a small amount of space.  There were many to choose from, but I felt that this one best went with the modern, yet eclectic, decor of my home...oh who am I kidding?  I bought the cheapest one that looked like it wasn't going to break about 5 minutes after being assembled...lol.  (Yes it's been longer than 5 minutes and the paper tray system is still standing...haha very funny.)

Here's the view from the front
And the side

A picture of the box...see I put it together correctly :)

I put it together all by myself!  My husband will be so proud...well he'll mostly be relieved that I didn't ask him to build it...lol.  It only took about 20 minutes to put together and I only got hurt once (That's pretty good for me!  Assembling things = injury every time).  One of the bolts that holds on the wheels had a sharp spot on it and of course my finger found that exact spot with little to no effort...lol.  (Don't worry I washed it with soap.  Hey, you can never be too careful.  Plus the system was really dusty in the box.  I should have wiped it down, but I just couldn't wait to put it together!)  

If you would like to buy one, I bought mine from Target online for $29.99 and about $6.00 for shipping.  (On a tangent, the store's name is pronounced Target, like 'I'm going to shoot at this huge red and white target', not Tarje.  It's a big box retailer not a French boutique...lol.)  Like I said before, it was the cheapest and looked like it would hold my paper with minimal issues.  Plus it has wheels, so I can wheel it all over the room if I want.  I just hated having to dig through my scrapbook chests looking for paper.  Now I can just wheel these babies right next to my desk.  Voila!  Paper at my finger tips!  

Now all I need is a mini fridge in my craftroom and I can live in there for days...lol. :)

  2. It would take some major moving around, but it's like 14x28-ish...so it might be possible...lol.
