Storage Solutions
Want a workspace that's both functional and pretty? Clear an ample work surface, keeping it free of piles of paperwork and clutter. Items that you use regularly — phone, computer, reference books, writing implements — should be within reach, while nonessentials can be neatly stowed on shelved or filed in drawers. To maximize space and for visual appeal, attach jelly jars to a shelf above your desk. Fill them with colorful craft and office supplies.
PROJECT 2
Space-saving storage shelf
Measure your shelf to determine the number of jelly jars to attach. Space them out evenly and mark their placement with a pencil.
HOW-TO Start with clean jelly jars. Turn the shelf over and position the jar lids along the underside of the shelf. Attach each lid securely with two small nails; if the lid is too loose, it will spin. Fill the jars with colorful office and craft supplies — check out seejanework.com — and twist onto the lids.
