Personalized Office Storage and Desk Sets

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-

Window Treatments without Blinds or Drapes


Need some privacy without the hassle of blinds or drapes? Window film is an attractive solution. It does an excellent job of providing the right amount of privacy while still letting in natural light.

Unlike cling film, our adhesive film will stay permanently attached until removed. Cling films do have a tendency to curl and become loose with changes in weather such as heat and cold. Recently Patricia in Lexington, NC gaves us excellent feedback while ordering our product. Patricia told us " I am ordering to replace your Magic Cover film I put up 25 years ago!" That is a great testament to it's lasting durability.

Not only does the film work well for windows, it can also be used in other areas. Shower doors, glass cabinet doors, curios and mirrors are just a few. It installs easily in just minutes and can be customized to fit your needs. Designs can be achived by simply cutting patterns with a razor or exacto knife.

Window film comes in many patterns such as frosted, etched and stained glass to match any decor. All of our film patterns can be found at -

Non Adhesive Liners As An Alternative



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.


Grip-It rubber liner is a soft, washable, non-skid material that's as appealing as it is functional. It is useful both inside and outside the home. 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.
