Being a Use~What~You~Have Sort of Soul...Ancient Armoires...Vintage Linens

Our collection of Vintage Linens

is threatening to take over the house.


So much so that when I go to use my favorite pieces...


they appear lost in the jumble.

Being a Use What You Have sort of soul...


I looked around for a place that would allow me to

sort and organize my most used pieces...

and oft forgotten linens I would like to use more!




It's often easy to overlook the obvious...


but when I spied one of our ancient armoires


hiding in plain sight


I knew it would make them a perfect home.

Zoey agreed.



After folding and storing some of our vintage quilts


I realized...


the project required a shelf of some sort.



When I looked about the house I came across this half~forgotten


little green shelf in a hallway...


holding empty baskets.

As I sifted through the plastic storage bins


filled with lovely linens


I chose and lovingly folded the pieces I knew I would use most often...


be it transforming them via sewing projects


or embellishing a table, window or sofa.

I threw in a few pillows that will soon be recovered as well!

We even left a little room for the linens to breathe.


Now...

I know you are

Use What You Have souls

as well and I bet you have storage solutions

above and beyond this little effort.

What are some of your Use~What~You~Have solutions??
