I had so much fun making this wall a
reality. I used to keep my yarn in plastic totes stacked a mile high in this
office. I was hard for me to find anything and when I wanted to get something
out of a tote it just so happened to be on the bottom of the stack. So
something had to give. I
got the Cubes from Walmart a few months ago in the clearance aisle. They are
Mainstays brand and they were $10 for a set of 4. I knew they were not holding
heavy college books or taking a beating in my garage so I didn’t mind that they
were flimsy and pop together. I had a plan and they fit perfectly! My husband
also bought wood and made custom cubbies on the bottom to provide a stable
bottom and storage for my shipping supplies! He painted them black to blend in.
Him building those was the only way to make them go all the way to the ceiling,
and I never turn down extra storage! This project required a lot of planning
and time. These cubes are really flimsy but my wonderful husband anchored them
to the walls and used zip ties for all the corners. If you are not ready to do
that, then I would strongly recommend you use something else because it will
fall over and most likely come apart while you are trying to stuff them with
yarn. I have complete trust in my husband so I kept the futon under it and plan
to sit there while I work. This is also our guest bedroom and this Christmas my
brother and sister in law will be sleeping with this above their heads. This
will be a dream come true for my sister in law as she was the one who taught me
how to knit about 4 yrs ago.
