Solution: Book Boxes

So if you know me, you'd know that I like knickknacks. All sorts of knickknacks, especially the small, Asian types. I already have a couple of these storage carts filled to the brim:

But as you can see, they are a tad unsightly. And since Hubby bought me this fabulous house, I need a way to keep it pretty... or at least make an effort to make it looks like one of those model houses that we have seen. And I have found my solution, again at Michael's.

They are, as their name implied, boxes that look like books. Ironically I can't find them on Michael's website, so pictures (different style, but same idea) from other sites will have to suffice. These are super expensive though:

They weren't kidding about the "premier" part, their pricing is certainly premier. LOVE this set, but $90?? :O

Also found a bunch on a wholesale site in China. Does a girl have to get into import/retail to get her hands on one of these (at reasonable (?) price)?

Last of all, this set is also gorgeous. According to Google the picture belongs to Spectrum Organizing, but I wasn't able to actually locate the picture on their site.

Wow, an entire website dedicated to storage & organizing... maybe I should spend some time browsing through it instead of just nabbing their pictures. =)
