Wow! This is truly inspiring. As lover's of vintage decor, thrift shopping and hoarding supplies we totally appreciate and can relate to "not knowing what to do with everything". You have found practical, beautiful and super creative solutions. Thanks for sharing. PS - love that foam brush holder!

Looks great. Purging is hard and takes time but I thinks you did great.
You are not the only one that has pretty napkins stored away. So do I.

Hope your son is on the mend.

In reply to Pam. Pam - absolutely!!! I just love these - great for every day and also for company! My extensive collection of napkins are all on the humorous side and I get so many compliments/laughs when I use them. I would recommend getting two sets and hopefully the ones shown on Amazon also include the "coaster holder" (makes it easier to organize them). You may want to order two sets. Also, don't put them in the dishwasher as they will cloud up. Enjoy and hopefully you can photograph them when you get them for your blog. Love to see and thanks for your inspiration! PS - I haven't gone to my therapy addiction class this week for napkins, pillows, candles, greeting cards ...... :)

Your dresser in this post is one that has been in our family for years. It was in my Mom & Dad's guest room, then in my sewing room and now my daughter has it. Great piece!!

In reply to Penny. I love that idea of the acrylic napkin coasters!!! I just checked Amazon and they have them. So now that I will have a legitimate use for my napkins, I can buy all that I want, right?

Ignoring only one room makes you a saint, in my book, my dear. And i think it looked nice whatever you did with it.

I think I need to hire you 🙂 I have been collecting since I was a teen (40+ years) and between that and family and friends giving me items, having several antique booths (now are closed) I just have way too much stuff. I definitely need to down size and organize and I love all your storage ideas!

I love your style and your resourcefulness. Having an L-shaped workspace is genius! I'm going to have to copy that, among other ideas (picnic baskets, drawers made into shelves) when our remodeling is finished and I get my space back.

So glad to hear that your son is doing better. It's a scary time when our children are ill and we can only do so much to help them get well. Soldier on my friend!

Pam - hoorah for you! You have really inspired me to keep going. This organizing can be time consuming and quite a chore. But, I don't know about you but when I get started I work like a fiend. Really - for me it is getting started. Love your vintage storage idea. About those napkins - I too have a "uge" collection. I found some clear acrylic napkin holder coasters where you just insert your own napkins favorites and after use, throw away. I CAN'T quit collecting napkins with funny sayings. Have many tens of tens of packages now. The acrylic idea is great - change for the season/holiday; they are totally useful as coasters and a great way to justify buying more! Teehee ... Hubs actually loves them too. Again, thanks for the continuing inspiration and God Bless.
