The Item That Saved Me…
January 7, 2010My name is Heidi Farmer and I’m a piler.
Catalogs.
Magazines.
Newspapers.
I even have a mail filing system, but sometimes I need a little more.
My friend Wendy found these from Pier 1 ($85) and I think they are a godsend:
Here it is in Dark Willow. Elevated, 3-tiered, space-saving storage. Why hasn’t anyone thought of this before?
I bought 2 for my “office”, which is a little corner of the dining room:
Function is key. With these little miracles, I have storage, but it can easily removed when we want to entertain in there. (But really we’re more grilling entertaining people with little adorables running through to the playroom, so this room has been safe so far.)
You can find them at Pier 1. They also come in this rattan color:
I’m trying to be good, but I may spring for one more in the kitchen.
Pottery Barn also now makes one ($149):
Now if I could just find time to go through all those catalogs, magazines, and newspapers…
Happy day!
