If you live in the states and have cable, you've probably heard of House Hunters International on TLC. The title says it all - it's a staged real estate "reality" half-hour show about finding the perfect home. It's kind of dumb, but I have lived vicariously through the buyers and have purchased homes in Israel (complete with bomb shelter), Tuscany (complete with vineyard) and Paris (complete with a view of the Eiffel Tower.)
Since most of Washi Tape comes from Japan, I was in search of the perfect home for these tapes that seem to propagate like bunnies in my storage closet. The minute I saw a whitewashed soda crate on Pinterest I knew I had found the perfect abode for my Japanese friends.
I purchased the crate from a buyer on eBay. The price was right, which included shipping, and I received it within the week. I have since had some communication with the seller and he deserves his 100% positive feedback.
I still have to sand it down a bit but I love the way it looks and best of all
I can fit a lot more Washi tape in the cubbies.
Bid with confidence from the seller I bought my crate from - HERE
How do you store your Washi Tape? Have a better idea than a soda crate? Please share!!
Oh I love your new crate. I always look at these but they're always priced to high for me. Thanks for sharing your link to the buyer. Hey, are you still gonna do an ATC swap in the fall? Let me know!
ReplyDeleteI would love to do an ATC swap. One-on-one? Theme? I remember the first time I saw an ATC and couldn't figure out why anyone made them. I don't think I ever got a good answer to my question but at this point who cares? I am an ATC junkie!
DeleteWhat a neat idea!! Looks fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteTricia, 24 cubbies and each one can hold at least 3. That means I need to go shopping for more.
DeleteLove your storage - it is now top of my wish list. I love those TV shows, I always buy the properties with the dream studio space!! xx Michelle
ReplyDeleteThe paris episode just aired a few weeks ago and the YOUNG couple spent over $4,000,000.00 on their new apt. Can someone tell me how a young couple can afford to buy a four million dollar apt?????
DeleteI love how the tapes look, in this crate!!! So cool.
