Vintage Grace Studio- Part Two

Part 2-

A closer view of the shoe pockets.

Always a great place to stash

 linens and bits and pieces.

The punches on the shelves 

are stored on a vintage wire display rack.

The cart is an old tea cart found

 in an antique shop in Nags Head, NC.

 This cub bie is a favorite of mine. 

 Lots of little spots for storing ribbons and such. 

  The shelf unit on the right was shared on the previous post.

The one on the left is 2 DC Government office file drawers

 that were stacked on top of each other with added shelves.

On top is added a small chicken roost.

The large oak "box" is 7' 2'' custom built coffin

 that was purchased in Auburn, Nebraska in 1984.

The person it was made for moved away

 and the funeral home was left with the "custom order."

It eventually found its way to an antique store.

There is a long story behind this-

 but the bottom line is that there

 was a "misunderstanding"

 with my husband. When I said-

"that's the most unusual thing

 I have ever seen in an antique store,"

 he purchased it without my knowledge,

 in order to surprise me.

I have moved it from home to home ever since.

 This is the top of a large piece

 that was from a paper company in Omaha, Nebraska.

All sorts of small boxes keep little items

 in places where the labels help to find things.

It sits on a matching base.

It all hides behind closed doors.

Wire baskets on top hold fabric remnants.

 Sometimes this little desk is where I like to work.

Small wooden boxes on end hold

 journaling supplies and of course-

 washi.

 The bin with drawers on the right is a machine shop

 storage unit. It was pretty grimy but cleaned up great. 

I love the little slots for labels.

Part of the fun for storing and organizing supplies

 is finding unusual things 

and reusing them in a different way.

This cart is an IKEA find 

and they also have them at Michael's.

If you are just starting out

 and want to keep your things together and mobile,

 I highly recommend this simple cart.

So, hope you have enjoyed

 a tour around the studio space.

When this COVID pandemic is behind us,

 I would love to have you stop by and create with me!
