but orgainze them with fun art stuff and such!

The first day of last week’s heat wave was spent in the air conditioning of IKEA purchasing my new Alex drawers. That same night was spent putting the Alex together...3 hours later (you know how those IKEA instructions are...) and 1 week later on a much cooler day, I finally organized the Alex.

And oh, my gosh, is this thing wonderful! For years I’ve been longing for those big metal flat files that so many architects/artists have, but alas I live up 36 stairs in a small house in a canyon, no room for a flat file and certainly not enough strength to carry it up all those stairs. But my dreams have been temporarily answered with the Alex. Thanks to Holly for suggesting these on her blog (You can see hers by the way, in her newly renovated work space here). They’ve been out for over a year and I can’t believe that I missed them. I don’t want you to miss them, so I share them with you now :).

If you’re an artist they’re perfect for paintings, drawings, you name it. I can’t believe how much it holds. As you can see it makes a nice printer stand too. And just the right size for a small work space, and if you have a large work space I’d get three of these babies!! And it’s on wheels... a gem, I tell you!
