Do you live in a small space? Or perhaps you just simply feel like you need more storage? Creative yet attractive storage options for the home can be a challenge for many. I’m always on the lookout for new and fun ideas. The following are three quick picks that can be easily accomplished with found items re-purposed for storing anything and everything…

The use of old wooden crates are a new and attractive replacement for the plastic milk crates we all remember from our college days. 

The shelf on the wall is reminiscent of boxes I used in my own home office. I needed an accessible place for items such as pens, a stapler, little notepads and such. After searching high and low I found these beautiful, yet simple, feathergrain boxes at The Container Store.  An easy fix for my storage need was to turn them on their side and mount them on the wall. 

The “most creative idea” goes to a fellow blogger, Brooklyn Limestone, and her ingenious idea for storage of scissors, tape, and other everyday office tools. The frame and pegboard is not only functional it is very stylish and fun. For more on this creative storage idea that is also aesthetically pleasing check out her posting about her home office at Brooklyn Limestone. This is one idea I may have to borrow one day when I actually have the space for a project room!
