Maybe the basket can also be stored in doug's closet and just pull it out as you need it? Maybe you can store the printer there too and just get it out when you need it. Or maybe set up a work space in your basement? I think a basket or bin works well to stash bills, important docs to be filed, and other office supplies.

Flat surfaces are my weakness. I have a small wardrobe in my dining room that we outfitted with shelves for storage. http://www.lansdownelife.com/2011/07/wardrobe-purge-and-reorganization.html (This post is from last July.) This is where I keep my printer and all sorts of little officey type things. I keep other things in our basement office (along with our paper files), but those are mainly things I don't use frequently. Maybe you could replace the desk with some sort of cabinet or credenza? Put the printer inside and drill a hole in the back for the wires. Maybe you have something that would already work?

When we moved last year we went from a 3 bedroom house to a 2 bedroom townhouse... we changed states and I thought I had gotten rid of enough stuff... NOPE. We will hopefully be moving into a house again soon but I don't want to take all this JUNK with me. I have been working at it little by little but this is going to make it so much easier and more organized (something I greatly lack) I am BEYOND excited about this!!!!!
