I own a lot of stationery. A lot. What I don't own is a lot of space to put it. Up until just recently most of my stationery was stored in a chest of drawers, which made it very difficult to see what was at the bottom of all those piles of paper and all those envelopes!
And then Mr LG found something wonderful. Something cute. Something stationery-related. And best of all, something I could use for storage!
An old library cart! eBay is a wonderful place to find cute and quirky pieces of furniture and I'm so glad Mr LG found this gem. We sent it off to be powder coated as soon as possible and I couldn't wait to start using it!
I haven't finished putting all my stuff in the little hidey holes, but I love the way it looks so far!
Have you found any gems like this on eBay, or similar websites? Our antique dining table and chairs are also from eBay, as well as a cute little antique decorative chair. It's amazing what you can find if you're willing to spend the time searching for it.
Ooooh, I love that!
ReplyDeleteomg i love it! (you'll be gettting mail from me soon :) I've never bought furniture off ebay, but i'm going to start looking!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a killer find {great job mr.!}! It cleaned up so nice and I'll bet it feels SO good to get organized :)

You do have a lot of stationery! I love it! I have a tower with clear drawers where I keep mine. I've never bought furniture off eBay, but we did buy our kitchen table and chairs from a listing posted in the classifieds of our city's website. They are still in lovely condition, and we reupholstered the cushions with a cool fabric.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this - what a great eBay find! I really like what you've done with it and what a perfect way to showcase your lovely stationery collection!

Wow- I think you have even more stationary than me! Didn't think it was possible :) However I have a ton of my own homemade stuff too, so maybe I have more!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beaut. x hivenn
ReplyDeleteEeee! That is absolutely perfect. What a wonderful find. I wish I found awesome things like that.
ReplyDeleteMy stationery is all over the place so I need a great place like this. (As you saw on my coffee table).
As for the skirt I'm think the blue is more practical :)
That looks amazing - what a great find and the powder coating really brings it back again. A perfect stationary storage solution :)
ReplyDeletegreat job! that is such a cool shelf, i like it :)
ReplyDeleteAh!! I love this! Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteI really need something cool as well to showcase my stationery or at least to keep it organized, I swear it's all thrown here and there I have no idea how I find it - lol!!
