Repurposed Card Catalog Roundup

Sometime last year, I went on this frenzy of looking for a used card catalog that I could make beautiful.  In my mind, I thought that a nice big card catalog would be the perfect hidey hole for all of those random craft supplies that tend to get lost in my mess of a craft room.

Well, it’s been almost a year.  My craft room has new floors, new paint, air conditioning…and piles of craft supplies stacked around the room.  That would be because the card catalog I ended up buying from a seminary in Connecticut is STILL out in the garage, sawed in half, primed and at a standstill.  It will get done…someday…eventually.  But until then, let’s just dream about how beautiful it could be.  Maybe it’ll look as good as one of these!

Do you have a repurposed card catalog at home?  Do you want one?  (Is that a dumb question, and I should just assume YES?)  What would you do with one if you had it?

I do hope to share with you my finished card catalog sometime before the current little one reaches college, and preferably before the second little one makes her arrival!
