Antique Sewing Drawers Uses

l

Sewing drawers are fantastic organizing tools. The top picture is from Blueberry Cottage Primitives. Makes a cute basket and an easy way to carry. But if you don't want to buy or to create one yourself just use a drawer as is. 

You can use for socks in child's room, storage of folders in an office or hold meds in a bathroom.  Get creative!

Get out Your Mason Jars!

  Go ahead and get them out! If you aren't using them for storage start using them for flowers. Garden season is upon us so start cutting those flowers and put them in jars. Any old jar will do. For my peonies I used a small Ball bail jar because the stems aren't long. I liked the clear with the white flowers. Maybe for my pink peonies I will use my green jars....

Idea for Decorating with Mason Jars

I love mason jars and their many uses! Usually they come in green and clear and they can be found in many different sizes. Currently I have a 12" jar filled with lilacs on my table. 
Great ideas: Floating candles, floating flowers, hanging lights,storage jars, drinking jars. 

One Last Word on Crates

I have had a few requests for newer wine crates set up on the floor that I have pictured in one of my posts. Since I only sell antique and vintage I can't provide you with the newer crates. Here are a couple of pictures to give you an idea of what the antique crates will look. You provide all the goodies to go in them.

Ideas for Crates Part 3

I just love these ideas!! You will need to be a little handy to make the pet dish holder but what a great use of a crate. I think it would be a good idea to seal the crate with polyurethane so it doesn't get ruined by the water.

The middle crate is a Coke soda crate but a Pepsi, Atreat (I have loads!) or any other brand would work just as well.

The last crate on the bike is a beautiful wine box. I LOVE wine boxes. That aren't that easy to find but they are almost always beautiful and worth the search!

Ideas for Crates Part 2 Floor Storage

Crates make great storage and display pieces all in one. Use as is like shown in the first picture. For this look you can use 2 of any size. In the second picture they have used newer wine crates but you can use older crates for a more weathered look. In the last 2 pictures they have been modified with casters for rolling storage. Rolling crates will also be great for use at a party. Line with a plastic bag and fill with cans of soda.
