We are always looking for different solutions to keep our offices organized. As lovers of everything vintage, we are always on the search for affordable and stylish storage options. It gives us a great excuse to display some of our finds so they are not only cute, but also functional! Here are some great ideas for you to organize your office or home!

This first idea is such an easy fix for that stack of magazines in your office, or your pile of great linens and textiles in your sewing room. Head out to your local flea market and look for vintage wire baskets to turn those messy piles into a stylish storage space to tuck underneath your office desk, or beside your sewing machine! This industrial vintage wire basket will look great in retro and traditional spaces!

This next storage solution is so cute and easy for all that extra mail laying around your office. Find some vintage metal file spaces for another vintage industrial look to add some style, personality, and functionality to your life! Depending on the amount of storage needed, you can find just 1 of these mail holder, or find multiples to stack them on top of one another. You will have a great vintage look on top of your desk to keep your office looking clean and your life more organized!

Another great vintage storage solution to keep your life organized is to file your business cards or letters into a vintage toast rack! We LOVE this idea because it is such a simple and cute solution to cleaning up and maintaining all of those business cards and/or letters your receive.

You can find all of these great solutions, and ones just like them on our Etsy shop, Lucy and Ellen!

We are always looking for new ways to organize our home to keep life simple, beautiful, and above all else fun! One of my ‘to do’ projects on my forever ending list of projects is to paint the interior of my office bookshelves with a bright blue color. I was inspired by the bookcase in the image above (courtesy of MarthaStewart.com).
By adding paint to such a simple piece of furniture, you can add more interest to your room. The items showcased on the shelves will pop against the bold paint colors!

(If you are looking for another stylized way to personalize a bookshelf you could place a great wallpaper on the shelves and inside backing. We will begin our own, and share it with you in the coming weeks!)
