Spray Paint Storage {a quick fix}

This post contains affiliate links

Last night the hubs and I stepped out into the “Man Room” for a bit to start organizing his workbench.   He was joking earlier in the day that MY workshop was getting spendy…. haha! Then it occurred to me that I really have only asked him for one thing in that whole room. 

Spray Paint storage!! We both use spray paint, but let’s face it, I am a self proclaimed paint junkie!!

I love my paint!! 

Behind the door into the workshop used to be the home for all of our packet goods in our stockpile. 
 
 
I was getting ready to take this all down, when it hit me!  Spray Paint could live here!!!
I probably paid $5 for this over the door shoe organizer years ago, so to me this was a FREE solution, PLUS I didn’t feel like I was taking up any man space.
When I started stocking my new space, I realized that I need to have a shelf for my essentials, such as Flat Black, Heirloom White, Primer, Clear coat and Chalkboard. 
 
I just have too many of them for this to hold.  So this will be my color choice slings!
I am sure there is storage like this somewhere else out there in blogland, but for just one moment I had that total light bulb moment strike and was having pure organizational bliss once again!  
I hope this inspires you to organize your own spray paint, or heck, maybe it will inspire you to start hoarding using it!!  Either way, I am happy to share this idea!
Thank you for stopping by today.   Don’t forget to follow me on Facebook and Pinterest, and you can find me on Instagram and Periscope @OneThriftyChick and on Twitter @JennJSheffler.

    Jenn,

    I love it when we can re-use what we already have. And now you can see all your paint and it's organized. What could be better?

    I'm visiting from the CRAFT linky party. I would love if you stopped by my blog.

    Thanks for sharing,
    Laura

    You are a genius! Seriously! Mr. B has been hounding me about my spray paint cans in "his" garage. This would solve the problem so easily and cheaply! I would love it if you'd stop by and share this at my link party at http://www.kathewithane.com/2012/04/youre-gonna-love-it-tuesdays-2.html

    Great idea! I could totally fill this up and probably half of another organizer with my spray paint. Right now it is taking up valuable real estate on a shelf in hubby's workshop. I'm glad I'm not the only one with such an extensive selection!

    This is a great idea–inspired use of something you already had! So smart. I'm afraid I'd need several shoe hangers. . . uh oh.

    BRILLIANT! My spray-paint shelf is so full that I'm cramming cans on their sides on top of the upright cans. Thank you thank you thank you! Now I can see all the colors!

    Do you share any of your ideas on Hometalk? I have been asked to currate a board for Hometalk with paint storage ideas, and I would love to include this genius idea! The board will then be included in Hometalks newsletter and pinned to Pinterest, etc.

    In order to include it, however, you would need to post it on Hometalk asap. If you are interested, please email me the link to your Hometalk post {blueistyleblog at gmail dot com}. Thanks!
