Can't see what's inside the drawers? No problem . . .

Although I'm technically suppose to be organizing my Inky Station, inspiration struck me so I decided to finish this project first.  This is not my original idea but I thought it was a practical and beautiful way of labeling my Ikea CD holder.  So although I cannot physically see inside the drawers, thanks to my new little labels I now know exactly the treasures it holds inside.

I started with an Ikea CD holder and a 3x3" metal frame. Unfortunately I only had one metal frame. So I made a 2nd frame from black cardstock.  I used the metal frame as my template.  Can you tell which is which?  The frame on the left is made of metal. 

I then removed the label from the CD case. You'll need to exercise your muscles a little to get it off.

I then photographed the contents, printed and cropped the photo.  Afterwards, I simply adhered the paper frame and photo to the drawer with double sided sticky tape.  This way if the contents change I can easily change out the label.  I've also kept a template of the frame for future use. 

Love the drawers and the label but as I look it at it now I think to myself . . . "should have painted them first".  A little backwards I know . . . oh well.  But I think the drawers would love even nicer when I paint them in the slate blue color that accents the room.  When I finish phase II of this project I promise to post an updated photo.
 
In the meantime, thanks for stopping by . . .
