Manic Monday-DIY Storage Ideas

Who wouldn't want a craft studio that looks like this?  Everything has a place and all of your supplies are at your fingertips the moment inspiration hits you.

You all know, I have been working on getting my house organized and finding simple solutions to store things out of sight.  One of my favorite places on Earth is the Container Store.  This place has the coolest things!  They seem to have thought of everything you could possibly need to get yourself organized.

Unfortunately, we are on a very tight budget at our house and I have been looking for some creative DIY solutions to my organizing woes.  It all started with this picture:

Anyone who knows me knows that we have plenty of diaper boxes on hand.  I was over the moon.  Soon I had been searching for hours, finding all sorts of ingenious ideas like this:

The possibilities are endless.  And when I say endless, I really do mean ENDLESS!  I found countless ideas for all sorts of DIY container storage and you don't have  to be limited to covering boxes you already have on hand, you can cut and transform those boxes to be any dimensions you need.
