Cubby Hoarder?

My new obsessions, bamboo, and wine crates have joined my life long obsession with cubby's. Cubby-holes have always been my favorite way to store things. They are the perfect way to store my art supplies, fishing gear, and wood carving tools. Thanks to the "Hole" my cubby collection is growing.



The first one came along as our Jack Russel Terrier was having a hard time getting on and off of our Sleep Number Bed, which is a little taller than most beds. We were searching all over for a bench or ramp or something to make it easier for her to access the bed. Katie was unreal when it came to a freshly made bed- she just couldn't resist climbing in and getting under the covers. One day at the "Hole" when we were about to give up searching for the right solution to our dilemma, a Pottery Barn three cubby bench showed up, and solved the problem. The bench was just the right height and Katie knew as soon as she saw it, that it was for her to get onto the bed, happy napper!

The next cubby came along as we were moving into a new condo with a smaller kitchen, it has several "holes" and we thought it would be useful to store kitchen stuff. I eventually decided to use it in my studio, and I love it for storing small paintings and my hand caved fishing lures.

Just the other day another three hole cubby on wheels came along, made by Ikea, it is sturdy and has nice lines, and I love anything on wheels, and everything Ikea! The holes on this piece are large and perfect for holding my tackle boxes and wood carving materials.
