Oh my friends, do you know what happens when you have to empty out a walk-in closet full of fabric? Not a huge one by any means, probably 3 feet wide and 4 feet deep, floor to ceiling shelves on one side and a hanging bar on the other. It is tight. It is full, the water main shut off to the house is in the back. So, during construction in the upstairs bathroom, the water needed to be shut off. It was my intention to make the pathway easier for husband so that he did not see just how bad it was.
Make no mistake, I have not touched that darn bookshelf. It is lurking there, overflowing, burdgeoning with my beloved research tomes, brilliant ideas in thousands of pages, and other stuff!
I have 12 more of these coming from Amazon. I have already used three on the floor, under the shelves for quilt backing and two for Christmas panels and fabric. Mmm, I feel a peachy moment coming on! These bins are a canvas-like fabric with a hard bottom. The handles work quite well, I have used these in my linen closet and my P-touch labels have worked out ok....but I think I am going to add hang tags. Multiple tugging on the handle will most likely displace those sticky tags.
That piece of dark wood there, that is the door to the closet.

- My heart goes out to everyone with health issues, of great concern are respiratory ailments. The smoke and chemical laden air here and across the northeast and some of the mid-west is dangerous.
