The dreaded 'T' word....

Yep, Tiding, also associated strongly with 'cleaning' and something not many of us are too keen on.

It's one of those rare things where it always seems to get much worse before it gets better.

Having gained the office as my workspace as mentioned in my post last week "A space of my own"  I have been gradually moving all my supplies and materials into the office in a bid to avoid the current situation where there's stuff everywhere!

I still have a long way to go but I made a start yesterday on my LED supplies.  I was looking for storage options and came across "Really Useful Boxes" and it turns out, they are really useful!

I bought a 5L XL organiser pack which came with a 5L XL box with lid and inside was 6 x 0.2L boxes and 3 x 0.3L boxes in their own compartment tray which can be used on it's own or stored inside the 5L XL box.  Nifty!

I chose the 5L XL box as it was perfect in size for my various packs of LEDs and resistors so I made some colour coded dividers and put them all in the one box.  Much easier than sorting through various bags and keeps them all together.

I used the other smaller boxes for other bits and bobs such as batteries, wire and switches.

I have another larger compartment tray with 16 x 0.3L boxes and plan to use those for some of my other dolls house miniature supplies such as clay, beads, etc etc.

I'm saving that for another day.....

  1. Hi Jennifer! I love the storage ideas and the solution that you have come up with. I find that I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE CONTENTS of whatever I store otherwise it is technically " lost". If it is out of my sight, it is also out of my mind.

    1. Thanks Elizabeth. The boxes come in lots of colours but I liked the see through option too. Makes life easier :)

  2. Hey
    I love your storage boxes, it's so important to be able to see what's in them before you open each one up.
    Glad your new workspace is coming along.
    Enjoy your weekend
