Stylish Storage: Hand-labeled Kraft Boxes

Love how Jessie of Follow Studio has labeled the kraft storage boxes in her workspace:

Such beautiful simplicity.

Stylish Storage: Hermes Boxes

The iconic Hermes boxes — their signature orange color and brown trim make them pretty enough to have out on display and make for a chic small scale storage option:

What do you think? Love ‘em or hate ‘em?
BTW, you don’t necessarily have to shell out big bucks for a Hermes item in order to get an orange box. I’ve seen the empty boxes available on ebay and Etsy.

Under Stair Storage

These lovely spaces take advantage of an area which frequently goes forgotten and under utilized:

I think my favorite is the idea of installing built-in drawers.  Such a great way to maximize storage potential!

Shoe Ottoman

Ottomans are so great because they often serve double (or triple) duty. I love that this one is secretly outfitted with 16 pockets for storing shoes (or other things!) and is lined with a pretty fabric that adds such a fun unexpected punch of color.

Portable Storage Baskets

A tote basket is a beautiful solution for containing and conveniently transporting files and/or project supplies from room-to-room.

I’m loving these hand-woven fair trade imports from Tango Zulu:

P.S. You can also use ‘em as market totes, magazine holders, picnic baskets…there’s a multitude of uses!

Beautiful Storage: Semikolon

Chances are you’ve seen Semikolon boxes before. Maybe in inspirational images like the one above, or at the store {Container Store and Barnes and Noble carries them}. I had seen and admired few pieces myself here but never paid attention to who made them. When I found out a company called Semikolon made them, I immediately popped on over to their website and was in awe at how fabulously extensive their collection was. Being the geek that I am, I get excited about things like this!

They make a nice variety of pieces most which come in a choice of several beautiful colors! Here’s a quick look at a few:

Find Semikolon products by googling them – different retailers and online shops carry a different selection.
