Need a Unique Filing System? Sometimes You Have to Think Sideways

A journey to 1,000 problems could begin with a $15 desk. Well one of those problems turned out to be filing in the desk drawers. You buy a desk with a file drawer and you assume you can put files in it right?!?!?! I needed a filing solution to tame the mess in our office.
I got the desks painted and bolted to the wall and went to put some hanging files in the drawers and realized there were no rails to hang files on. So I headed to Office Max for one of those metal frames. Can you believe those things are $13? Me either!
I just couldn’t pay that for those few little pieces of metal.

Good thing I didn’t buy it either because I would have had to take it back because the drawers only hold files SIDEWAYS!
Here is something I came up with - I got it in Lowes in the trim section but it reminds me of those plastic pieces that go on report folders. For now I have them jammed down in the slots until I see how it is going to work out over the long term.
I couldn’t resist giving you a sneak peek at the inside of the drawers and how I added some inspiration to these desks.
