Angie, your paper organization is great. I have been thinking about doing something like this, but have had concerns about the paper getting dusty. In your picture, it looks like you have the paper in some kind of protector--is this just the wrapper the paper came in, or did you use something else?

stu, some of the packages of paper are still in the plastic that they come in. I know some people who could not have this set up because where they live is so dusty. But I don't really have that much dust. And trust me, that's not attributed to my house cleaning abilities. It's just not very dusty in our neighborhood.

Angie,
Just be careful of your paper on those racks esp next to the window. I stored my paper this way until I decided to rearrange my room. Had to take the paper off because those racks are heavy when there's paper on them. All my pieces that were on the bottom of each rack had grid lines where the sun obviously had hit them and they had started to fade. So now I store my paper in files that stay closed.

I had thought about that. One of the reasons I decided to go ahead and try is that there is not much light from that window and it is never opened. I have thought about putting on a screen like we have on the front of our house. The windows were tinted when we bought it, so I thought about tinting that one, or putting up heavy curtains. The view is not desireable (the neighbors yard) so I don't mind not getting use out of it. But, I will be watching. I tried different configurations but this gave me the most room. I have a 15 month old so the floor was not an option.
