Here's the after and before shots of three pieces I've gathered along the way ... and no, I didn't pay an arm and a leg for these beauties. They are definitely worth the search as you troll through flea markets, antique shops, and tag sales.

And before you leave, don't miss this fabulous pictorial tour of vintage office furniture. {LOVE!}
I have always loved the old furniture and filing drawers in your house! Never realized you labeled the drawers also!
ReplyDeleteProbably 'cause we're too busy yapping and running after kids and whipping up a storm in the kitchen when you ARE here!

WOW, Linda, what great ideas for organizing. I love them. Today I was cleaning out one of my files--not the whole drawer although I would like to have done that. Just one file to prepare for subbing this fall. It sure felt good to pitch stuff.
ReplyDeleteI like the dark thick penned tabs on your folders.
This was great.
Thanks, Linda.
Blessings,
Janis
Yep ... one file, one drawer, one pile at a time, Janis!
DeleteWhat amazing finds! I've been on the hunt for an old library card catalogue for the last few years to use for organizing jewellery. Nice to stumble onto your blog today!

This is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteLove vintage. Love organizing.
Perfect.
Blessings to you as you make your home!
Organizing + Vintage = YES!
DeleteWhat wonderful pieces and I love how you use them!
ReplyDeleteYou've been great at wandering around the archives, Loralee! It makes me smile that you're finding some oldies but goodies tucked away in there!
ReplyDeleteI'm grateful you're here. And I hope this coming week is filled with delights for you, for yours ...
