▶ Drawers from Officeworks
PLEASE NOTE Since I created this video, they have discontinued this exact set of drawers so the closest option is the "portrait" version in the A4 size. Your pencils will lay from front to back rather than side to side like the original landscape drawers in the video, however, they will still fit nicely (it's just a different orientation) This is the link to the "portrait" option instead

*this is an Australian store
I haven't found an equivalent online for a US store or UK store but I would suggest trying your local office/stationery supply store.
A lot of you have asked me for the brand of drawers, and it's called "J. Burrows" but that is actually the home-brand name for Officeworks which you can't buy anywhere except Officeworks, unfortunately!
PS: If you live outside Australia, a lot of big art stores (Michael's, Jerry's Artorama, Cheap Joe's etc) have sales and coupons and will have the wooden drawers at a very decent price, so you could look into getting those instead!
Here in Australia, we don't have huge art stores that have sales or coupons, hence why I wanted to give an alternative to other Aussies looking for a solution 😊

SUPER helpful Kirsty ! ... and wow, what a lot of setups you prepared for this. Much appreciated ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
You certainly are organized! Thank you for the wonderful tips.
You are so welcome!
This is an awesome idea! I love it. I was just at officeworks today, but I intend to buy one of these soon
That is a very neat and elegant solutions you've worked out. Your studio looks really nice and tidy - and very inviting!
Thanks so much! 😊
Wow, what a beautiful art space/studio! Thank you for sharing your tips and creativity!
You are so welcome!
Genuis! Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏🙏it's a great idea and looks nice
Thank you 😊
Those Office Works drawers look awesome, I'll have to get some. Thanks for the tips (-: Marion
Wow - I am always popping into Officeworks as I live close to one of their stores in NSW, but have never actually noticed these before. Many thanks for pointing them out - I have just found them on their website so will be popping into that shop tomorrow to pick up a few.....
I love Officeworks 😊
So many useful things!
Brilliant! I live in Flinders Park South Australia and have an Officeworks 5 minutes from home. It’s great to have an Australian Tutor! I’m about to sign up for your Patreon tutorials. Love the way you teach!
Oh nice!
I'm in SA as well 😊
Thank you, I'm glad to have you over on Patreon!
Very nice layout in your art studio. I love your drawings, especially the gorilla.
Thank you 😊
Awesome! I've been thinking about this as an option - the wooden drawers are way too expensive to get to Sweden - but hadn't seen anyone else actually do it. Great to know that it works, I'm getting a couple to hold my paints and pastels!
Go for it!
Where to find them in Sweden? Not the wooden drawers, the other ones
what a fabulously organised studio - so clever
Thank you 😊
Those different pictures of animals on your desk are beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful slay queen slay, I recently got into prisma color
Thank you 😊
Have fun!
I like this idea. It is so much nicer when you can move things as needed. I like the idea of creating shelving out of it too. Very nice.
Thank you 😊
I find it really useful, especially working in so many different supplies!
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Oh yes. I work in so many different mediums, being able to switch them out easily makes things so much better.
Your area is amazing!!
Thank you!
Great ideas and the drawings of the animals are beautiful!
Thanks so much 😊
Really cool work area! Makes perfect sense. Takes a while to figure out a system and mine is currently far from perfect. Btw, that parrot is really a very nice piece of artwork! I love watching your channel and Patreon grow. You're an inspiration and it's nice to see your success. I know it's a lot of really hard work.
Thankyou, I'm lucky to have a whole spare room for art! 😊
Thankyou, the parrot was actually a coloured pencil piece I did a while back!
It definitely is a lot of hard work and there's a lot of hours involved behind the scenes to try and make it happen!
But hopefully I can do this full time in the future 😊
Love it!
Awesome.. still looking for something like this.. Im from the netherlands and cant find something like this :(
Oh no, sorry I can't help you!
those are some very helpful ideas!
Glad it was helpful 😊
Kirsty, I've never said this to another woman, but I love your drawers! lol I normally prefer to keep my supplies easily mobile (backpack kit) or in small tote boxes, but this makes me crave a dedicated room in the house with a desk or two. Thanks so much for sharing. Feeling inspired.
Haha thank you 😊
It's definitely nice to have your own dedicated space!
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt see the faber castle albercht durer watercolour pencils does the led suppose to be hard or soft when you colour
pls give the link of these drawers even i want to buy them
I like these Color pencils
I have 10 wooden drawers and need much more storage space. You’re right that we don’t have the plastic drawers in the US- so disappointing. I like the way you have your shelves with the drawers. I have way too many glass jars : (
Thankyou 😊
To be honest, I'd rather have the wooden drawers! But I can't get them in Australia for a decent price 😂
Omg the art is bomb
Thank you 😊
Due to space, my pencils are in various sized jars in 3 spice racks but also in a tall plastic drawer tower. i do have a few pencil wraps if I am drawing outside but they are usually empty. most of the rest of my art supplies are in the tall plastic tower
It sounds like it's working for you, which is great! 😊
Sounds good but i have 116 pencil sets + 16 sets of assorted markers, inks, gel pens, and loads more so this would not work for me due to lacknof storage space. Add in 600+ colouring books (been colouring 30+years) so not annoption for me
Whew that’s a long way from my floor pile 😅 I’ll try the drawers
Haha it certainly makes things easier 😊
Hello so beautiful video
Thank you so much 🙂
hi kirsty! when i clicked the officeworks link, it just led me to the main page. i was just wondering if this is the 'J.Burrows Desktop File Storage Organiser 3 Drawer White' desktop drawer you were showing in the video :)
I just updated the link but yes, that's the right one www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/j-burrows-desktop-file-storage-organiser-3-drawer-white-jb3drawwe 😊
This is awesome! Also, have you tried Staelder colored pencils? I'm pretty sure they are German, and they are really nice!!!!
I have heard of them (they're a popular student grade pencil in Australia) but they aren't lightfast unfortunately, and that's a big consideration for me 😊
Hi Kirsty, great solution, but Officeworks no longer stock these 😞
Oh no! I only just saw them in store a couple of weeks ago so that is sad to hear!
The closest option is the "portrait" version in the A4 size. Your pencils will lay from front to back rather than side to side like the original landscape drawers in the video, however, they will still fit nicely (it's just a different orientation)

Hey does anyone know what to do with colour pencil tin? Because i stored my colour pencil in my pencil case and I'm thinking to throw away the tin is there anything you could do about it
I don't keep my tins anymore (I kept them for years but never found a use for them because I put all my pencils in drawers like this!)
You could give the tins away/sell them! There are actually a lot of people who want spare tins so you could try advertise on places like Facebook marketplace
Hi Kirsty! I’m from Italy. I cannot find these articles on Amazon ☹️
Sorry, I mentioned in the description that you can only get them in Australia from Officeworks, but you may be able to find something similar at an office supply store in your country 😊
Someone should really make the liner you put in the drawer that you took from the original pencil tin, most artist would buy them!
Yes, they should! 😊
I live in US I can’t find them. Do you have a US link? Thanks.🤗
Unfortunately, I haven't found a similar one for the US - a lot of people wait for the wooden pastel drawers to go on sale though 😊
Do you have a link to the black container? I live in Germany.
It's from an Australian store called Officeworks so unfortunately, they don't ship to Germany
But you could try your local office supply or craft store for something similar?
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt I could not find anything similar even on amazon in that price category.
I love your solution to pencil storage. It I’m in the USA and trying to purchase them from Office Works, they won’t take my phone number to purchase. Do you have any suggestions on how to order?
I'm sorry, I'm not really sure how to help with that!
You could try and call/email them through their website but I'm not sure if they would ship internationally?
I've seen sales for the wooden pastel storage drawers in the US and they are usually pretty cheap (I've seen them go on sale regularly through Amazon US and some major online stores like Dick Blick etc) so it might be worth waiting for some to go on sale somewhere and purchase those insetad?
Honestly, the reason I made this video was for the Australians who never have access to the wooden pastel drawers for less than $50+ each (I have never seen them on sale here at all) so these plastic drawers are a different option for us!
To be honest, I would love to have the wooden drawers instead because they pull out completely, they take up less space, they look nicer, and they are better quality - so if I could access the wooden drawers on sale like other countries can, I would definitely wait for those 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt
Thank you for your input! I will look at other sites.😎😀
What are they called cannot find the pencil drawers I got at OfficeWorks
This is the direct link 😊
www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/j-burrows-desktop-file-storage-organiser-3-drawer-white-jb3drawwe
can you please find it on any site for these kinds of drawers. i like them and i want to buy them i live in india
Hi there, I have searched for these drawers in many other countries online, and unfortunately, I haven't found an equivalent.
The closest thing I have found is the wooden pastel drawers I talk about in the video sorry!
Ok thanks
It's called: J. Burrows desktop file storage
I really wish that I could find these drawers in the US!!
I know, sorry about that!
You could keep an eye out for the wooden pastel drawers when they go on sale - I'd much prefer to have those!
This is such a good idea, but the most similar thing in the US that looks sturdy is $70 per unit now. :( They're only selling flimsy plastic or particle board.
I know, it's strange that other countries don't have something similar!
Usually in Australia we can't find a lot of products that they sell in the US (especially art supplies) so it's weird that we have these, and others don't!
From where i can purchase it
I'm in Australia so I get them from a store called Officeworks - if you're not in Australia, you can try a stationery/office supply store 😊
Unfortunately it seems impossible to find anything similar where I live :(
Hopefully, the wooden pastel drawers that I mentioned will be on sale in your country at some point! I would rather have them but they are never on sale and super expensive in Australia!
Are the drawers removable? I store my supplies on bookshelves, so it’d be nice to take out the drawer and have the pencils nearby on my desk when working
Technically yes, but not easily! You could move the whole set of 3 drawers to your desk though, I do that sometimes 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt Just wanted to check. Taking out the drawers would be better, but its small enough to easily carry/move, then sit on my desk when using. thanks! ☺️
Can you give us the website you bought but from I looked at amazon but didn’t find it maybe I didn’t write the name right
Hi Andy,
Sorry I've just updated the description so the link is on there 😊
The drawers are from Officeworks officeworks.com.au
*this is an Australian store
I haven't found an equivalent online for a US store or UK store but I would suggest trying your local office/stationery supply store.
PS: If you live outside Australia, a lot of big art stores (Michael's, Jerry's Artorama, Cheap Joe's etc) have sales and coupons and will have the wooden drawers at a very decent price, so you could look into getting those instead!
Here in Australia, we don't have huge art stores that have sales or coupons, hence why I wanted to give an alternative to other Aussies looking for a solution 😊
I found it on Amazon USA.....$35.18. It's called: J. Burrows desktop file storage.

I’m in like middle school, and my house is really small . I don’t know what to do and should I sell my stationery? I don’t no how to do that tho. I’m thinking of just donating to charity or something but my parent would probs want me to earn money from selling them
Did you want to keep the stationery or are you selling because you don't think there is enough room? When I was younger, I used to set up my art things on the dining room table and pack them up when the table was needed again (for dinner etc)
You could also keep them inside a travel bag to make it easier to take with you
If you are still wanting to get rid of them, I would suggest asking your parents if they can sell them for you (on Facebook marketplace etc) 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt thanks for the suggestion :) my house is really cluttered and I want to declutter before my sister moves to uni a lot of the stuff I have is from like when I was five. Another thing I want to declutter is all of my old toys, I want to give away some. Please suggest any ideas for me to make declutter it easier. Your the best:)
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt another question, hoe do you sell on face book? Do you ship it to the buyer?
also unavailable uk ....
The UK have specials in some stores on the wooden drawers (mentioned in the video) where you can get them at very reasonable prices!
You're lucky you can get most other art supplies in the UK though! It's very hard to get a lot of supplies here in Australia 😊
Yeah... I feel like even in North America finding a unit like so might be over $30 easily.... regardless of what it’s made of....
Sometimes the wooden pastel drawers go on sale in America from a lot of the major art stores, so you can keep an eye out for those! They're better than these plastic ones but they are very expensive in Australia and never go on sale here 😊
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt in Canada so I don’t think they would go on sale as often or be found in as many stores
@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt I’m looking to make shelves from foam board, cardboard, etc. You’d be surprised there’s one lady who does amazing cardboard & pvc furniture. Doesn’t look cheap or gaudy at all.
PAINT THEM
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA! I'd have to work out the best way to do that though, because they are a shiny plastic so I would imagine the paint would chip off!
Wood drawers - I looked into these (US) and many complaints said the inside is cheap and bends. So, I'm not buying them.
The ones I have from Officeworks in Australia are pretty thick plastic and won't bend with the weight of pencils - so I'm assuming any of these drawers that are similar in the US is just not as good quality maybe?
Кытай кымыз кала пак руы бар ким
For whatever reason these types of plastic drawers in the uk are more than wooden drawers. Like 50 quid for the same type of drawer. We really like to rip people off over here.
Yes it's odd, isn't it! I'd much rather have wooden drawers but they are ridiculously expensive here, but they're reasonably prices when on sale in the US!
