Last night the hubs and I stepped out into the "Man Room" for a bit to start organizing his workbench. (more on that later) 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.
Paint storage!! We both use paint, but let's face it, I am a self proclaimed paint junkie!!
I love my paint!!
Behind the door into the workshop use to be the home for all of our packet goods in the 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 holder 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 home, I realized that I have 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!
Don't forget to check out all of the places that I like to party at each week. We have a lot of fun!!

i LOVE this idea! my hubby is always teasing me that we have a spray paint store in our garage. :P and i waste so much time digging through the shelves looking for what i need. this would be perfect! we'd love for you to link this to our Sunday Best party going on right now. http://griffithsrated.blogspot.com/2012/04/sunday-best-42912.html

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
Great, thrifty solution!
We loved having you at Beautify It Monday this week!

What a great idea!! I keep one of these in my closet for jewelry and never thought about all the other uses.
What a fantastic idea! My sister in law and I both need this! Megan
Great Idea!! Now to find a place to hang it.
Fantastic idea, maybe tack one to a wall.
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! Love it when inspiration hits AND it is free!
Such a wonderful way to store spray paint. I use one of these for craft supplies.. and now I'll have to get one spray paint.. I'm going to run out of doors :)
Love the spray paint storage idea. Anything to do with organization, I am in!
You do have a ton - love that you can see it!
So smart and such a fabulous spray paint collection! Thanks for sharing this great tip!
Take care,
Trish
This is a great idea for storing paint cans!! TFS!! Stopping by from Kathe With an E linky party and a follwoer.
Here is what I shared this week: http://craftybrooklynarmywife.blogspot.ca/2012/04/another-coat-for-holly.html
that's an excellent solution :)
What an awesome idea for spray paint! So smart!!
Thanks for linking up to this week's Catch a Glimpse party! I'll be featuring this tomorrow!
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 such a great idea-- I'm totally pinning it! Found you via 504 Main link party :)

Great idea! So much easier to see all the colors compared to sitting on a shelf.
Kid you not, I asked my husband for spray paint for mother's day in 11 colors, maybe I need to add this to the gift too!
Awesome idea! This has so many applications. I am a scrapbooker and I can see myself using this for punches. Thanks so much for sharing your idea!
Excellent idea!
Great storage idea! Thanks for linking up!
That's a lot of spray paint--and a great storage idea! :)
So clever, I never would have thought of that! Thanks for linking up last week at Whimsy Wednesday.

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.
Thank you so much for joining Grace at Home. I really appreciate it. Bless you!
What a great idea, thanks for sharing!
Stopping by to let you know that I featured this post for this week's Tickled Pink! :) Stop by my blog to get a button, if you want!
Perfect! New house, no pantry door, lots of spray paint ... THANK YOU!
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. External SATA RAID
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!
