Desk Organizer

Remember how I said that I had made several things out of the old fence boards that fell down during Hurricane Ike?  Well, I'm finally getting back to another one of those items.  Meet my new desk organizer.  I am pretty particular about my organization, and I have never been able to find the perfect desk organizer to address all of my needs perfectly.  So, I decided to make my own.  And what better material to use than beautiful old fence boards!!!  I wanted 3 horizontal slots on the right side, one for printer paper, and two others for things that need to be done (Don't mind the pile of bills sitting on the top slot in the picture).  I also wanted 2 vertical slots in the middle, one for tablets of paper and one for manila file folders.  Finally, I wanted 3 boxes on the left side, one for storing pens and pencils, one for a stapler, and one for scissors and highlighters.  So...I stripped all the fence boards in half lengthwise, cut them to the sizes I needed for each of my compartments, and then glued and nailed them together with a nail gun.  It is absolutely perfect for all my organizational needs, and I totally L.O.V.E. the rustic look of it at the same time!
