Ask and ye shall receive.

I queried the GlassyEyes Hive Mind last week looking for some storage ideas for my burgeoning collection of eyeglasses. It outgrew two drawers and space being at a premium, I was searching for something that would make it easy for me to see what I have while making organizational sense.

I got a number of really good ideas (click the collage above for a better view).

I was thinking of building a wall-mounted system on my own, but after seeing a couple of the photographs people sent in, I realized my perfect solution was pre-existing and right in front of my face (literally). My anguish turned to glee in a matter of moments.

It may not be for everyone, but it works great for me. An additional tick in the pro column, is that it provides me a some motivation when the blogging muse is a bit quiet.


Replication of this system will set you back between $5 and $15, plus some anchor bolts.

Here are a couple of links (I use the first one, but depending on your situation, the second, cheaper option may work out just fine).

• IKEA DIGNITET $14.99
• IKEA DEKA $4.99
