My trash find

[sailorgray]

I have been searching for a card catalog all over and could never find one that I liked and that was in my price range.  My family all knew to be on the lookout for one for me.  Well, my Dad called me a few weeks ago and said that the pharmacy in my little hometown had closed (pretty sad as it had been around forever) and they had their pharmacists/apothecary cabinet outside with a free sign on it.  Of course, he and my mom scooped it up. I have yet to see it in person and my mom says it needs some TLC, but I love it.

it's big (54" wide X 19" deep X 36" high) and not quite a card catalog, but I may like it a little more since it's from my hometown. I love the drawer pulls. My Dad said the drawers smell like the pharmacy and it was FREE!

Thanks ladies! I have no clue where to put it. I do think ill have to get rid of something. That's ok. I ill probably use it to hold those small things like stamps, menus, chargers, etc. You know, the junk you need and never find when you need them

I remember seeing designer Genevieve Gorder showing her NY townhome, and they had apothecary drawers to take care of all of that kind of stuff.  It had everything from spices to office supplies and then some in it, and it really helped their place uncluttered.

Chargers?! How does it hold chargers? Are you modifying the drawers?

No, not modifying. Cell phone chargers, nook chargers...I am always losing them. Modifying stuff is definitely NOT my specialty.

[sailorgray]

That's what I thought you were thinking. I am not fancy enough for those kind of chargers
