Hubbie is away for the weekend, so I'm taking the plunge and trying to reorganise and tidy up a bit. I basically happy with how I have things laid out, I've moved some things that don't have to be there away to free up a wall so I can put up a small design wall, so question number
1 is, what backing have people found best for a design wall, batting? or something else? The very simple option is to put some nails in the wood bit at the top, then hang clips on them, but I'm thinking something that something that holds flatter might be more useable, so I was wondering about covering foam board with something then attaching it - I think I can figure those bits out, it's just what is the best "something"!I also have a cupboard I think it would be useful to add a couple of shelves to, it's a flat back furniture cupboard so the walls are laminated chipboard, about half an inch thick. I can't see us keeping this particular unit long term, so I'm looking for cheap ideas, they don't have to hold much, I'm not asking miracles, just something to avoid having to stack everything from the bottom, the space is about 5 foot high and about 2 foot 6 inches wide and 18 inches deep. There are two such spaces and they have hanging rails - hmm, I only just realised that means I could hang something, I'll take a trip to Storables tomorrow, but any budget ideas would be good!
Finally, what to you use to store projects in progress, I've got some cardboard boxes from an office store which I've used to organise some big projects, but they would drown some of my projects and once I've stacked them, they are staying put for a while! I'm thinking smaller plastic boxes would be good, any ideas for a cheap source of around 10 shoeboxish size boxes? The thought of buying them at Storables or The Container Store seems rather expensive!
