Vintage Haberdashery Cabinet

There are so many uses I could find for one of these if only I had the space (well and, technically, the funds too). There is a shop near where I live that sells vintage shop fittings and it really is the stuff of my fantasies.

Where would I put one? Well in dream scenario number one in an unfitted kitchen. I know, I know, totally impractical but gorgeous nonetheless. Actually, you could have one of these in a fitted kitchen as a sideboard. You could put cutlery in the top drawers along with napkins and things that would look good through the glass top. You could stack plates along the bottom or perhaps pans – in this fantasy world, you have a complete set of copper pans that would contrast so beautifully with the charcoal paint.

Then you could put plates and mugs in the bottom drawers and tea towels and other useful stuff in the shallower middle ones.

But let’s say you don’t want it in the kitchen. Imagine it in the bedroom or (dreams again) the dressing room. Use the top drawers to show off your jewellery, sunglasses and even keep your make-up dust-free. The middle drawers would be perfect for underwear and socks, while the deeper ones would take jumpers and t-shirts, while the bottom open space would look great with shoes in.

I’m quite staggered by how much it turns out I need this piece. While I knock down a few walls to make space, you can see more of it at Design Vintage where, if you hand over £1,450, it can be yours.

In other news the blog tour for Shades of Grey has progressed to Apartment Apothecary today. I hope you will enjoy reading Katy’s review on it. I have no idea what she has said at the time of writing it so I hope I’m doing the right thing by sending you over….
