weekend project
One of my favorite things ever, is doing projects around the house with David. Several projects have been on hold while I was pregnant (didn't feel so hot, I was always tired, and moving around was a bit more difficult).
So this weekend, we tackled the office. It was so great working with David, and it felt peachy to check this one off the list.
This is what we call the "cube wall". My Cropper Hopper cubes (they may be discontinued now, sorry) used to be configured like this: 6 wide & 4 tall. Inefficient use of space AND the top would just collect junk. Not pretty. So now it's 4 wide & 6 tall (a step stool is handy) and I have space for my red chair in the office again! Plus, we bolted every cube to each other and screwed the entire unit to the wall. These cubes aren't going anywhere.

Your room looks great! What a neat idea to stack the cubes taller, (and I love the red chair!!)
Looks great! Can't wait to have a room of my own to scrap!
Very nice! Job well done :)
Love these-I have them in my studio and wouldn't trade the cropper hopper system for anything. Thanks for sharing!
Looks beautiful! I'm amazed that you were able to do that with a newborn. Kudos to you! :)
looks fabulous!
Your space looks absolutely AMAZING!!!!
looks absolutely fab!! Hope we are going to see the other walls as well. My hubby made me a few cubes but i will definately need more after seeing how neat they look all together. Wow! u still sticking to your daily blogging, LOL
Looks great...I love organization...sometimes thinking rather than doing...I need to change that. :) I am glad you are feeling better now too. I just love your ideas, style, etc. - Keep up the good work. :)
I like it! I recently went vertical in my scrap room...what a difference it makes!
Love the new room. Can you tell me a little more about your scrapbookroom? What is the size of the room? What color counter tops are on your cabinets. Can you also give some info about you cabinets layout? Hope I am not asking to much.
Looks great. Your "during" looks a LOT neater than my "durings" ever do! LOL!
Your wall looks fabulous! Great use of space!! The red chair is so nice!! Congrats!!
Looks great!
Just curious... What color will the new baby's album(s) be?
they look like the MM ones do you thing they are the same? I don't want to or can't bolt to the wall what do you think? they should be fine? Thanks Grace
It looks so organized. It will be so easy to find anything when you need it and at the right time. Job well done!!!
Oh geez, and I thought I had a paper problem...LOL! I wish I had that much space. Of course, then I'd just fill it with more paper!!! Looks great.
That looks great! I wish my room looked half as good!

your space looks great - i'm always so inspired by your organization! how do you deal with dust issues for your open paper racks?
hope you're doing well with crew, and the kids are adjusting well!
can you post pictures of you whole room. i would love to see how your drawers and cabnets are organized. also where did you get that desk it's great!
The whole room looks so neat and clean! That IS a load off your chest!
Your wood floors make everything look so nice too.
That looks wonderful! You did and great job! I'd love to see more photos of the office. Your organization always inspires me!
It looks fabulously organized! I have the Crop-n-style cubes stacked up 5 high and 3 wide...I didn't dare go any higher than that...but maybe one more level? hmmm. I love the cropper hopper cubes...they look like they are wider than the crop-n-style because I can only fit 5 paper holders vs croppers 6.oh well.
It looks great! And what a comfy looking chair! Love the color red too.
Aaaahhhhh. Organizational bliss. My eyes love it.
I absolutely love it!! I'm trying to talk the hubby into those 4 high 4 wide IKEA cubes!! Wish me luck!!Thanks for sharing.
Becky -- looks great! Love the "ROY G. BIV" you've got going on with all your paper!! :)
WOW! Look at all that paper! The room looks great, and kudos to you for getting that done while taking care of a new born! You rock!
Becky,
I always get inspired when I see another scrappers work space! LOVE IT!
this just makes me more excited to get my expedit tomorrow!
Ohhh, divine and so tidy.
what a fun room! i love your decorating style!
Looks great.....OMG love the red chair.

I know your room has been in Creating Keepsakes before but can you post more pics and give us specs on your cabinets, counter tops, etc. Did you and hubby install the cabinets, order from Home Depot or Lowes, etc? I need to overhaul my room and I want black cabinets!
Thanks for sharing - Laura
I also forgot to ask the paint color.
Love the way it turned out! I love reorganizing things too. I just redid some of the things in our computer room to make it look less cluttered & what a difference. Except now my Dh started working on one of the projects that has been on his list & we have several torn apart computers sitting in a heap on the floor waiting to put one of them together for the kids to use.
OMG...I love it! Looks wonderful...have a question...what to you store in all of your cabinets above your desk?
Looks Fabulous! Your office looks very similar to mine...only you have way more paper than me!
p.s
Arizona homes must have the same layouts!

Hi Becky,
I know this is a late post on this topic... but I just had to write and say thank you for sharing! I love the look and organization, way better than my current shelves. And after showing it to my hubby, he gave me the go ahead to order my "boxes" as he put it. He started typing on here "this is a husband and you need to quit showing my wife all of the ideas!" Until I told him I needed to log on for the post to go on here. He deleted it saying he wanted it to be an anonymous one! Ha!
Wish the Cropper Hopper ones were still available since they look to hold 6 paper holders. I have 20 of the Store in Style ones on order and hopefully arriving in a few days so I can get my room better organized!
Thanks again!
Pam
