A few months ago we moved into a new place and my scrap area is now currently in what I can only describe as a sun room/deck of sorts. I have a really hard time keeping the dust out of the area and have put all my supplies in pretty boxes or in folders and now the only thing that I have not sorted out is the paper. I have always just had my paper in racks or standing up in my cube shelves but I am worried that I will get dirty and sun bleached paper even though the sun does not stream into the area it is well lit during the day.
Any ideas? |

What about a armoir to hold the paper racks? It would definitely keep the dust & sunlight out. I have an armoir that I hope to someday get in my scrapbook room (Pinterest inspired, of course) but right now I use it for my sons hockey memorabilia - it has definitely kept the trophies from having to be dusted all the time.

Could you make a light proof dust cover of some sort to either cover the racks or Velcro around the sides and front? I made a 12x12 cardstock shelf from four tall IKEA kitchen cabinets. I put shelf pegs in just about every hole and cut thinner shelves out of Masonite. It works great! Mine are in a basement back room with no windows, but if I needed to cover them it would be easy enough to make a curtain or drape to hang on the front.

I store my paper in an armoire. I have it sorted into 12x12 envelopes by theme and stored standing up. I put the labels on the corner so I could just pull a package out a little to read the label.
Cardstock I have in a cart with hanging folders. It would be really easy to just toss a sheet over it to protect the paper.

I made a cover for my paper racks to keep sun off of them. It was fitted to the racks with three long sides sewn and the fourth with ties
