I am so excited! My hubby finished box 1 of 2 of my new paper holders! I asked him to make a very basic (almost crate-like) box that would be set up like a file cabinet drawer. Although my hubby is a very talented wood-worker...wood is not cheap! Plus I kind of wanted it done quickly (and if hubby gets too detailed...that means I wait...sometimes months for it to be finished.) The total for the materials for the two paper holders came out to be about $45 and as you will see...it is very basic. I will probably eventually paint it...but right now I am just too excited to wait for the paint to dry. lol
I have the paper holder sitting on an old chest of drawers that I hide my scrappin' supplies in. Once both paper holders are complete they will hang over the ends of the chest of drawers...but that is ok because I have a little side table to the left that is the exact height of the chest of drawers. I originally wanted one super long paper holder but hubby suggested two so that they would be easier to move. He knows how often I re-arranged down in the Scrapcave.
Well, enough blabbering...here are some pics!
Thanks for checking out my new paper holder and reading about my paper addiction...lol!
Hope you all have a great day! ~Hugs~

This is a view of how basic it is. Hubby did round all of the corners and make it nice and smooth. He also made a little shelf under it for those boxes to fit in. I believe he said the inside measured at 32 inches.
Here is a view of it almost full of papers. It is so much easier for me to find the papers I want now! And, since I am tall, it sits up high enough that I don't have to bend down to look through my papers!
Here is a full-view of the chest of drawers (and the little side shelf to the left) that it sits on. The empty clear boxes on the floor used to sit on top of the chest of drawers and there was so much wasted space in between each box. As you can see there is still room in my new paper holder (and I could have fit the rest of the two clear boxes items in there but I want to put them in the other paper holder once it is made.
On another note...for those of you who do not know me very well...I have a slight paper addiction! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE PAPER!!! This is the amount of paper that I have purchased in the past week and a half. This is not typical though...as I attended a scrapbook "yard sale" and bought of ton of awesome paper for a great deal and then I also attended a sale at a LSS that is going out of business and had everything 75% off!!! Can't beat those deals!!!
