Another AW post: My card catalog arrived!!!

[ktzmoh]

I am positively giddy with excitement over my card catalog. I can't stop looking at it and I'm in love. It just got here and i'm figuring out what to put on it. I don't love the lamp on there - it's too big, so I'll find another home for that. But I think the painting is going to be hung behind it. I might try to find a protective tray and put my orchids on there... but there might not be enough light to get them to bloom. Hmm.

That's beautiful!

My dad wanted one forever and we found a reasonably priced one last year and gave it to him for Christmas. The drawers were actually big enough to hold wine bottles so he put his in the dining room and uses it as a wine "rack". He made cards for the drawers to say what is inside.

Where did you get this?!!? I have been searching for one that's not, like, $600. I have all of my junk store shopping friends on alert for one, too. I need yours! It s gorgeous!!!!

I want to know too! This would work great in my craft space!

Love!

Gorgeous!! I want one

sailorgray and LauraMoser I know, hard to find! Especially because I was really after one of these Globe Wernicke modular catalogs. Unfortunately, it kind of was an arm and a leg. I've long since given up hope of finding one for a song in a forgotten antique shop somewhere. I work at a university, so I have even made weekly trips to the surplus building on the days they restock checking for one.

Looks great. I've been looking for one for years (and lockers too), but haven't found a card catalog for cheap ever.

That really is gorgeous. What are you going to put in it?

Love it - so much character! I have one from Target, but yours is so much better. I have labels on all of my drawers that I printed on card stock in an interesting font. It's great for organizing little stuff.

This one isn't currently available, but I know I paid less than this and got free shipping,for those of you who are still looking.

Well I have a feeling my 2 year old will take it over. I only just unpacked it after work yesterday, and already this morning I found Minnie mouse in one of the drawers. Perhaps she will use it to hide her little treasures from her brother?

I was thinking of using it to store office supply stuff, chargers and all the things that get messy when dumped into one drawer. But honestly, it doesn't matter so much, I bought it for beauty rather than function lol!

I would have bought it for beauty too, but all of those drawers make my head spin with all of the storage possibilities.
