Ask Design Mom: Good-Looking 3-Ring Binders



Ask-Design-Mom-Question:
Dear Design Mom. I just installed beautiful open shelving in my kitchen and they are fabulous except for one thing: My recipe and design binders. They are huge black 3 ring monstrosities and I have been trying to find really cute/modern/funky binders to switch to. I use paper
protectors so when I am using a recipe or changing out a design idea I can just slip them out so 3 rings is a must. Can you help me? Cherilee




Answer:

Thanks for the great question, Cherilee. One of my favorite places to find good-looking office supplies (or in your case, kitchen supplies!) is See Jane Work. They offer patterned binders and solid binders that look great. And I love these little clips to use as labels.


One other tip: because it's back-to-school time, keep your eyes peeled at stores like Target and Staples for interesting binders in their seasonal school supply sections.

What a great idea! I've also covered old binders with leftover wallpaper or shelf lining --- a sturdy wrapping paper works well too.

Binders are also really easy to customize yourself, if you can't find ones that you like online.
Fabric and patterned paper are both my go-to options. A little fabric glue or modpodge and you're set!

Hi! Recently, I have been purchasing these PAOLO CARDELLI designer binders. What a product! What a variety! These binders are the designer look I have been searching for years. I use them for my company-wide presentations, as well as personal use. They did some logo debossing for me also. I go to their amazing website where I can buy with few clicks: www.paolocardelli.com It is an impressive binder boutique!
