I'm in the process of building a new home, and designing the specific cabinets for my laundry/mud room. I was hoping to designate a gift-wraping center in this room. Does anyone have any creative and functional ideas? I was thinking of making the upper-upper cabinets (those that fill in between uppper cabinets and 9-ft ceiling) the width of traditional wrapping paper, and outfitting with dowels that would slip into grooves on the sides of the cabinets. And use one dowel for ribbon. I could then, pull paper and ribbon down to my work surface (the countertop above W&D), cut what I need and then roll up the remainder back into the cabinet. The very awkward thing about that is that it would be soo high from the countertop, but I will of course have my step stool in the laundry room. I don't really have room in lower cabinets, as I only have a sink base and a 15-in wide pullout as lower cabinets in this room.

Any more realistic,creative gift wraping centers out there?

Thanks!
