Cube Storage

For a while I've had a set of four cubes along my wall between my bookshelf and desk.  In the space on either side of the cubes I would stuff random objects to get them out of the way.  In general, this just made my room looked more cramped and cluttered.  Since I've had a recent massive accumulation of makeup, I need to figure out a way to store it.  My solution was to get another cube.  After measuring it out, I found that I can fit three cubes horizontally in the space allotted and if I stack them then I can have six cubes.  This really makes it wall-to-wall furniture, but at least I have more storage space.  I quickly purchased two more cubes and cube-drawer inserts.  In the bottom row of cubes I keep old text books and cook books, which are too heavy for the cube-drawer inserts.  To cover them up I bought an inexpensive piece of fabric to drape over the cubes like a bedskirt.  Using a 50% off coupon from Joann's I got the fabric for a whopping $2.50.  What is really nice is that my duvet cover and bedskirt match my cubes, black on top and white on the bottom.  After taking these pictures I realized that my goal of decorating my room with a black and white theme has come to fruition!

At first I had gotten cube-drawers that were to small for my cubes.  I put
black binders on the sides so that there wasn't any wasted space, but then
decided to return the cube-drawers to get them of the proper size.
