Today I was glancing through some of the archives and appreciating the homeowners' imaginative uses of furniture and displays for storage and showing off collectibles. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Old shelving in an entryway holding jars, shoes and dishes of money and car keys.
Vintage cabinets displaying ironware and linens. Metal baskets of rolled towels.
Ugly plumbing and cleaning supplies hidden by long fabric skirts.
Crates stacked to form a shelving unit holding baskets and collectibles.
Utility shelving artfully displaying kitchen pots and pans, metal strips to hold knives. Bathroom fixtures with hooks to keep coffee mugs at the ready.
Ladders serving as a pot holder and drying rack.
Old screen doors closing in a beautifully lit linen closet.
Jars with decorative labels to store laundry supplies.
Vintage pharmacy cabinets in a bathroom holding towels, soap and bath salts.
Open kitchen shelving decorated seasonally.
Inspiration at its finest. Go for a visit on a snowy afternoon. I promise you won't be disappointed!
