New Ribbon Storage

**This was posted on the family side yesterday**

This weekend I cleaned up my craft room and painted my ribbon rack!  I saw a similar one (but
much smaller) online somewhere and asked my Dad if we could make one
like it. I wanted to be able to pull my ribbon on and off easily
without having to thread/un-thread all of the spools from a dowel. This
is what we came up with!

Yep. That is me with a nail gun. This is what it looks like now!

All
of my loose ribbon is in the jars, and my spools are on the ribbon
rack. I love that I have lots of room to grow, especially since I buy
the new PTI ribbon every month. I figure I have a year or so before I
will run out of room. The stray wire you see peeking out of the top is
for a smoke detector that we have, but need to install. I still need to
take pictures of the rest of the room while it is still clean!

Oh drool....and I just love the chest of drawers underneath, love they are both white...beautiful. My other half is a cabinet maker by trade, think I will have to persuade him to 'case' this??? Oh and I love the background that you have on your blog, the colours are so fresh & calming. Thanks for sharing...Denise in Australia

very nice, I like this also since you don't have to thread and unthread from a dowel also.
