When you can't find the perfect storage system or desk set to match your decor- make your own!
With many specialty contact paper selections such as faux leather and suede, it is easy to get a one of a kind designer look for your office.
Cardboard or cereal boxes can used for catalog, magazine and file storage. Shoeboxes can be filled with photos or index cards. Small stacked gift boxes can hold tacks, paperclips and staples. Inexpensive journals and notebooks can also be covered to achive a high- end look. (We used faux black leather paper for ours!)
Another fun way to customize your items are with scrapbooking accessories such as nameplates, brads, tacks, labels and other baubles.
Have fun with your creations and be sure to check back for more great ideas at-

Non adhesive liners provide a great alternative for people who want the flexibility to easily reposition their decorative covering or those who don't wish to apply adhesive to certain surfaces.
We carry 2 different types of non adhesive liners- Grip it rubber liner and non-adhesive No Bugs shelf liner.

It's breathable rubber properties makes it a perfect covering for damp areas such as basements, boats, bathrooms, refrigerators, coolers, laundry rooms and under sinks.
It works well as a toolbox liner and in garages for it's sound reducing qualities and non-slip properties. Vehicles and RV's also benefit from the textured liner which eliminates rolling and shifting during movement. It is easily handwashable making it a good choice for areas that regularly collect dust and dirt such as greenhouses.
Grip It comes in a wide variety of colors, widths and thicknesses. It is an easy and economical covering from home to professional applications. As with any rubber products, Grip It should not be used on urethane or lacquered surfaces as damage to the finish will occur.
M'LadyNo Bugs paper is a safe, odorless insecticidal drawer and shelf liner. It is treated to kill ants, roaches and silverfish.
It's a clean non-intrusive pest control solution. Not only can it be used for drawers and cabinets but it can also be used around storage and garbage areas. It can be put under sinks, broom closets and other secluded areas where insects may congregate. Because it has a non-adhesive backing it also works well in basements and other damp areas.
No Bugs paper comes in a wide variety of patterns and colors that accentuate your home.
