Another one that I bought at auction and painted and I store bits & pieces on the shelves, the drawers have punches, fancy scissors and other stuff that I can't even remember,,,,,other things that I obviously needed badly, lol.
The boxes all store different things, the green ones on the 3rd shelf that have a S and a R on them, the S box holds all my shapes,(chipboard) the one with the R holds ribbons that I haven't gotten around to putting on the rings yet, the big pink one on the bottom shelf has all my chipboard alphabets. those boxes are fantastic, I got them at Target and they are really strong, with good handles on them, you can see this in the piccie below. You can get them in lots of different sizes and colours and they are great value.

I love this cupboard, again I bought it at an auction, I paid far too much for it but I realllllllly wanted it, it was dark blue so, again out came the white paint and I made the pink curtains for it and it looks gorgeous. I had been collecting old spice racks, the wooden ones with glass jars, gave them a coat of paint and they fitted down the side of the cupboard, I have buttons and flowers in them and the ones that didn't have jars in them I used for my MM paints, they fit perfectly and they look pretty cute.


This is a little dumb waiter that I bought at a garage sale for $10.00 , I couldn't grab if off the guy fast enough, of course not thinking about just WHERE I was going to put it, so after getting it home and painting it up to look shabby chic, I had to have a major sort out to find somewhere to put it, it now lives under a bench but I have found it very handy as it's on wheels so I can wheel it to my desk and it gives me more space to make more mess on...lol

This is a roller box that I bought at Ikea for $10.00 and I absolutely love it it is a square one not rectangle AND it rolls in any direction on little swivel castors there are about 600 papers and C/S in there. I have them in cheap plastic folders, like the A4 ones but they are 12" x 12" ones and hold 60 papers but I have a lot doubled up so there are at least 70 on average in each one and there are 8 of those in there plus bags of C/S soit is all very well protected and doesn't get dogeared when you go through it, but I must admit that I have been just shoving paper in the front lately, so I really must sort it out and count just how many it really does hold.

These are great for storing goodies, they are document boxes and they match the other white boxes that sit on top of my desk, they stand upright but they open up like a book and you can store heaps in these.
These are two sets of drawers from an old sewing machine, they have been joined together and a new piece of wood put on the top to make it like one set,,,,and NO I didn't do it,,,they are in such good condition that it makes one think that the whole machine must have been okay,,what a shame to cut it up like that,,,I bought it at an auction, I just HAD to have it,,,,,I have some of my materials stored in it.
