Turning vintage finds in to creative storage pieces.

A few days ago I introduced you to my fave new online store for vintage and antique pieces called Cabootle
(you can see previous post here about how pleased I am with their customer service).
I scored these two vintage collectables.  Now let me show you how I used them.

This vintage Coca-Cola crate and printer’s tray have been put to good use at my house.

If you have kids, you know they collect stuff.
Lots and lots of stuff.
Pebbles, legos, erasers, marbles, you name it, it’s probably in one of these boy’s drawers.
As much as I complain about the clutter, it’s kind of interesting to see what little treasures fascinate them.

The other day I dumped out their junk collection drawer then put the printer’s tray in front of them and let them organize to their heart’s desire.

Now their collected treasure’s have a home.

When it’s neatly organized it’s really sort of a neat little display.

As for the Coca-Cola crate…you may remember I used it as a drink tray / caddy on my new diy patio table.

But it also makes a great little shelf when leaned on it’s side for more little boy’s treasures.

Cabootle has more great vintage finds including more printer’s trays and crates.
