Hidden Storage

Over at the Hero (Arts) Club Blog, Nancy Taylor (this week’s featured blogger) has posed a question (with a giveaway!) for best tips on “hidden storage,” or in other words…so that our SOs don’t know how many supplies we really have!

I love this tip Nancy shared to get the ball rolling…”I hang my big sheets of loose paper over a coat hanger (under a seldom worn dress).” Gotta love that suggestion!

Here was my response, which isn’t really a tip…

“I like to unload my packages (or leave them in the car to wait until) when my husband isn’t at home, otherwise, everything is “hidden” in the open…that way my husband has “no clue what’s new” from “what I had before.”

Whenever my husband steps into my craft area (our guest bedroom) he stops, s-l-o-w-l-y runs his eyes over the entire room…without saying a word, (which of course, drives me crazy) and then shakes his head as he s-l-o-w-l-y retreats. Usually he doesn’t say a word…just shakes his head as he heads out the door, but other times…oh yeah, he’ll “whisper,” as if to himself…”frightening”….or something of that ilk. He has no room to talk…my “Mr. Gadget/Electronic Toy Man.” [Then again, he could be referring to the “state” of the room, which is often…in complete disarray!]”

So thought I would share some before (during the holidays) photos...


and some after (I tided up a bit) photos…


Thanks for stopping by...
