Thomas Paul Inbox Trays


We hate to admit it, but we're what some might call organizationally challenged. It's a constant struggle for us to keep on top of the paper piles, but we're determined to win the fight. We've discovered that having an "inbox" is key - it gives us a space to park lose papers until we get around to actually filing them, and requires little immediate effort. These Thomas Paul Inbox Trays are perfect for performing the task with some style.

Available in three colors for $13.50 each from See Jane Work.

these things are overpriced.

yeah... i see the designs as just "ok." i might pay that much if i liked that patterns better. and they were enclosed on top maybe.

plus, when organization is the key... I think a smaller inbox is better... if i had one like this i'd let the paper scraps and bills pile up in an unsightly heap... having a smaller crash pad for lists, notes, and bills makes it look less overwhelming and encourages taking care of it now, not later. for me, of course! i won't speak for anyone else :)

What these are is a holding cell for papers that should be sorted and dealt with. They're cute, but overpriced, and really, not helpful.

This is a good idea for a DIY project. Ikea has $2 letter trays that can be easily covered in cute paper/fabric
