The catalog used these types of boxes on open shelves for a nice home office storage solution that isn't ugly.

QUESTION:

I got a catalog for furniture and accessories that included a section on home office. One idea I got from it was to use decorative boxes. I happened to be in Nordstrom Rack today (looking for a purse - THANKS BECKY! LOL!) and they had these fabulous boxes - heavy cardboard with metal handles on each end but very pretty in a variety of designs and sizes. The catalog used these types of boxes on open shelves for a nice home office storage solution that isn't ugly. Now I've cleaned off the credenza and it looks really pretty, I feel the urge to go back and get more boxes! They'd also be great for photos.

ANSWER:

My house is a disaster area. It's difficult to keep any part of it tidy when there's only one person doing the straightening up - that would be me - and 4 others making the messes and not even putting away their own things but leaving them to pile up. My husband doesn't even throw away junk mail. I can only do so much in one day, and it's a chore just to keep it from getting any worse than it is. I'm plugging away at it, though, so maybe some time in the next few years it'll be neat
