My hubby just mounted these DZynTec ink storage cabinets on the wall this weekend.... I don't have all the ink pads (yet lol), but wanted one for each color family and one for non-SU supplies also. I ordered the "Buy 10 Deal" and plan to use the 5 on my wall, plus one to take to workshops and (hopefully) sell the other 4 at the workshops to recoup my investment. I LOVE these - compact - NO wasted space, hold everything - pads, re-inkers, daubers, markers and eyelets, etc all in an 8x12 space... and they are clean looking to go with the feel of the room. Mounting them on the wall also means I sacrifice NO counter space and the doors keep everything totally clean, dust free, etc.....LOVE them.

Ribbon is in plastic rain gutters from Home Depot... LOL
One 10 foot piece cut into 4 sections - 3 mounted on the wall and one to take to workshops....
SU spools need to be cut down (cardboard too wide diameter) or laid in sideways but all others fit perfectly - I stand cards up in them also - works perfectly.
Ink storage is from dzyntec.com - I absolutely LOVE these cabinets.... I'm a container/storage unit addict and these are by far my favorite thing i've ever bought for storage...
I heated up the handles on the top w/ my heat gun and snapped them off clean so I would be able to have an added shelf for my stamp scrub, stampin spots, kaleidoscope pads, etc....
Kept the handle on the one I'm using for workshops to make it easy to transport~~
How fun that there are others who don't think it is weird to be so excited over storage ROFL!
Thanks for the comments everyone - I'm telling my hubby how many people admired his work... keep him eager to help me more HAHA
THANKS~~

Wow thanks for sharing this. I have been searching for a way to store my inks and this is perfect. I just went and ordered the 4 with the moving sale. $10.00 a piece, can't beat that. I'm excited!!!!

I went to the DZ web site and found them but I am curious about your modifications. Did you remove a drawer so the re-inkers would stand up? And can the dividers come out or are they permanent? I was hoping to put my stampin' spots in them but I fear the spots are too big. what do you think? I have a Brother-in-law and fam that live in Idaho Falls where this company is, I wonder if it is possible to get to the company or if it is just internet.
Sorry about all the questions. I have been on a quest for the perfect containers and hate not being able to see them in person!

Wow!! I absolutely love this idea. I've been searching just like everyone else for something that will work for my space. This seems perfect! Have to run it by the supportive DH to see what he thinks. Thanks for sharing!!

FavStamper~
The reinker drawer is one drawer on one side and the inkers fit perfectly and stand up with room to spare.
I've heard the dividers will come out if you apply steady pressure - but so far I've left mine in. I did take out 2 of the drawers (they just slide out) so i could fit my tall chalk pads in their spots. I also removed one marker drawer to put more high top pads in the non-SU cabinet. I have my spots on top of the cabinets ( I did remove the handle on the wall-mounted ones) in unused SU stamp set plastic boxes - they fit perfectly in the 6 1/4 x 5 1/2 size storage case. i don't think spots would fit in the dividers - but if you removed them it looks like 6 would easily fit in each drawer.
I don't think it is a huge company - from the website it sounds like a SAHM entrepreneur~
Good Luck!!

You've totally inspired me. LOVE this! I will be ordering for me and my best friend to split ten, soon. I wish you could get 'credit' or something for all these referrals.

Works GREAT - oh, and my art room is no longer that clean...sigh.... I'm sure the counters are under all those new catty supplies somewhere!

Just found this photo. Awesome to see them wall mounted and the handle taken off. I have some of these too. I did break out the dividers in one drawer and a set of spots does fit (stacked 6 and 6) in one drawer. Love your ribbon storage too!
