So here goes . . . you know those little Christmas wreath hooks? I use mine for storing and displaying vintage clothing infront of the closet doors (in the guest bedroom) and behind any available door! The metals ones are nice and strong (those wimpy plastic ones are not).
Lots of Vintage Pretties ~ I will put in my Etsy store this week. That hook is pretty loaded!
The Double Closet Doors hold many more LOL
(and no, I don't think I will open those doors just yet!)
Another dresser and lots of baby clothing is behind the door.
Antique Tins and Vintage Baskets are great storage helpers
The big prize for storage is my antique Post Office or Filing Cabinet
Wooo Weee!!! Look at all those compartments !
I have found that trays and small tins fit perfectly in the narrow shelves. Great for holding all the smalls ~ buttons, lace, doilies, trims and accessories.
My Laundry room is not safe from my overflow . . . a great little cabinet holds my fabrics.
Pretty shades for cottage style pillows
Hat boxes are great for storing lace trims
I use this cute little dresser to store dozens of vintage tablecloths
My Dress Form is used for photo-shoots only and is stored in the kids playroom (I know, I know, its terrible). And even worse. . . she is currently dressed as Darth Vader and has been various other Halloween Costumes !!!! (this is an archived photo of a gown I sold last year).
Thank you to Cerri at the Little Pink Studio for hosting this week. You can see the other participants here for more storage ideas! I am off to check them all out !

The quilts hang over the railing at the top of the stairs. It keeps them from getting crushed (not ideal to stack quilts) and they show nicely.
Most of these are sold, so my railing is much emptier now.

I love all of your pretty methods of storage for all of your lovely things.
And, that cabinet is awesome.
I'm envying that post office - you can use every inch of it! Very pretty storage. Why don't you keep the dress form deocorated? Of course Darth is a darn good idea. Nancy
I think I'd like to come for a visit! Balancing my own stuff and my inventory has been uphill. We're discussing a cute outbuilding now.
LOVE the antique post office! To be able to see everything and then close the doors is wonderful! Lynn
Wow how beautiful your work space is!!
mine is to horrible for eyes to see!
I dream of being organized but thats as far as it gets!

Thank you for all your comments. I do love that Post Office Cabinet. It is relatively new and it certainly was not a problem filling it up immediately :)
The dress form would look lovely in the white Edwardian tea dress I bought a few weeks ago. She is demoted to the toy room because of space issues ~ the double bed, dresser, bookcase and Post office cabinet take up all the space in the guest bedroom. There isn't room for her (I need to name her too!).
I should really get rid of the guest bed when it is not needed. It is only used a few days per year and takes up so much space. I would be far better off with a functional table and pretty dress form nearby.
Ms. Dress Form probably isn't too happy about wearing Darth's mask. I will think up a plan to free her!

You have lovely ways to store all your items. And I especially am smitten with the Post Office filing cabinet! Gosh, look how neat everything is inside it!!
Thanks so much for sharing & stopping by to say hi to me!

Lovely, I love snooping through everyone's crafty spaces. You should have taken a picture of your dress form dressed as Darth Vader, that's a hoot!!
Hope you had a great weekend!

Oh that old post office cabinet is wonderful!! I like that you have your quilts over the railing. I have mine on drying racks but a railing would be much nicer. Blessings... Polly
Beautiful just beautiful. Love the cabinet. The wedding dress is gorgeous and I love all your pink linens. You are so neat and organized.

Hi Karen!
Your vintage clothing is beautiful! And the post office is incredible!! What a great place to store little odds and ends you want access to.
I have to laugh at the dress form. My youngest son was always creating costumes for different characters and would have LOVED it if I'd had a dress form back then! Too cute!!
Love the wedding gown! I love wedding things.
Hugs, Sherry
OMG! - that post office cabinet is so neat!!! Love the hat boxes too.
Thanks for sharing!
Margo
You have so many pretty things!! Do you collect and sell the vintage clothes??
I have been struggling myself to organize all of my collections and craft supplies...your system is a great inspiration!
Karen!
Come over and sign up for my first giveaway, and see my teacup post!

Hope your week is going really well so far...
