I'm trying to do a total reorganization of my craftroom. Sigh.
Small room, limited wall and floor space, small budget, etc.....
Currently, I have my 8-1/2 x 11 and 12 x 12 cardstock/paper in vertical storage containers, some purchased, some DIY. The paper is on a tall (6') by 30" shelving unit. It's almost completely full. I have *way too much*! It's crazy. I do plan on purging!
My dilemma - I have 2 Modular Mobile Panel Towers I bought a Michaels years and years ago similar to this: www.michaels.com/product/modular-mobile-panel-tower-by-simply-tidy-10624098?michaelsStore=2868&inv=3 (I did not pay nearly that price!). I'm thinking of putting my cardstock/paper in these units - duh- I meant horizontally. I have extra shelves, so I could separate the papers by colors.
But - after years of having and using the paper in a vertical system - will I like horizontal storage?
I read the thread on cardstock storage and many of you use some type of vertical in hanging style folders. I don't have the floor space in this room for floor storage bins or carts. (Plus I'm short and not very strong, so taking bins on and off of shelves would be difficult.) I'm kind of stuck in using what I have - the tall bookshelf or the modular mobile units.
Sorry for rambling on so much.
TL;DR
What type of cardstock/paper do you use? Horizontal or Vertical? Do you find any disadvantages or advantages to either type?
Thanks for any and all input. I've been avoiding making a decision on what to do because I'm just stuck on making a decision.
