How to set up a home filing system: Easy DIY Filing Bench System (get rid of the paper clutter!)



For years I have lived with stacks of paper cluttering every random drawer, cabinet, & random bags in my home- it's like I'm a paper hoarder! I decided to get my paper clutter in order. Initially, I wanted to just purchase a pretty storage bench for a max of $20 bucks to have a place to file away important paperwork and keep them organized. The more I looked and looked, I saw nothing in my price range for what I wanted.


I'm the type of person that wants to have stuff stored away but have it not be so noticeable that it's storage - you get me? (giggles) I just like to mask / hide stuff so that my home, which is already small, doesn't have random eyesores. I have to be a bit clever and have storage around the house that looks like it was meant to be there.


I came to the conclusion that I was going have to make this filing bench myself and I love how it came out, if you would like to make it yourself here is what you will need.


Supplies:





I'm super excited that I was able to create this home file system that looks like part of my home decor for just a couple of bucks!



I explain exactly how I made this DIY home filing bench out of a $4 plastic crate here:
