Keeping it simple
I have searched for a couple of months, for a way to store acrylic paint bottles. You can find images online of a rotating paint rack that Michael’s carried, but I could not find one for sale. I went to the company website and apparently they do not even make them anymore.
These are two small crates from Michael’s, and two, half-inch square dowels. Total investment, sixteen dollars. I hadn’t planned on shopping Michael’s that day, or I would have had a 50% OFF coupon with me.
Now I can find the color I need quickly!

Really nice idea! It is really important to be creative when you need storage space! There is always a place in the house that is great for storage but you have never thought of it because it’s purpose is different! Thanks for the post! Greets, Storage Leyton Ltd.
Thanks Kimberie 🙂
Is there a reason other than being able to find a specific color that the bottles are on their sides – does it keep better?
No reason. I have seen some store them top facing forward, and then they put a dab of paint on the lid so they can see the color. I just want to be able to see the color easily. I think if you haven’t used a color in a while, you will still need to shake the bottle first.
Love this. I too store my bottles in a similar way. I use the squares and stack them. Its nice to to grab a box and go! Thanks for sharing. See mine here on my icon.:)
Thanks… going to your site now Susan 🙂
Brilliant!
They can hang on the wall, and you can paint them.
That is genius!
Frees up shelf space too, room for more stuff 🙂 ha kidding.
Thats a great idea! I was thinking maybe using something like a wine rack, but this is a great idea 🙂 Thanks Sheila that’s what I love is share share share 🙂
It was really easy to do Cindy. I saw the slim crate, and knew it was perfect. 🙂
