The Vintage Closet
First I'd like to introduce you to my new friend, Ducky. He just came to live with me today! He's happy to twirl his cane if you wind him up! And sorry, he's going into my personal collection for now so he's not up for grabs at the moment. I'd say he's my fave find of the week!
- Now, let me introduce you to THE VINTAGE CLOSET. This is the old coal and canning room in my house. It’s just off of my studio and it holds some personal belongings, supplies, and well a whole lotta vintage! This is where most of the vintage I sell lives. I try to categorize by color, one because it looks awesome and two because it makes things much easier to find. When a vintage order comes in I march over to The Vintage Closet and grab the items. I’ve been getting gobs of treasures lately and it is full up! Today I decided I needed to do a little mini makeover. I zipped off to the hardware store and picked up some paint and boards. This is the before and below is the after!
- painting the wall aqua melmac blue really spruces up the vintage closet, and with a drill and a chop saw a gal can whip up some shelves in a matter of minutes!
Now you can see the glassware! And there’s a little bit more room for all the treasures! I only bought enough wood for 3 shelves but I may leave the bottom shelf without the riser to stow away some larger pieces.
I love the blue and yellow combo, much better don’t ya think. If you see something you like you can find it at http://www.vintagegoodies.etsy.com
