I saw your piece in Uppercase and loved it! I recently found a card catalog case at the Brimfield market — use it to store all my crafts + hardware supplies. yours is fantastic! I love the idea of it for a nursery.

Thank you all for your sweet words! I am finishing transforming the card catalog for the nursery and look forward to sharing the new pictures

Jen, there are usually a handful of card catalogs for sale on eBay, and you may get lucky enough to find one in your area so you don’t have to deal with shipping. Otherwise, keep your eyes peeled at the flea market, architectural salvage place, and even estate sales!

Erin, the giant lightbulb is vintage, and I found it while digging through an antique dealers’ musty boxes during a vintage treasure hunting trip this last summer

My husband, the electrical engineer, would LOVE the giant light bulb! Where did you find that?

Love it! One of my greatest regrets was passing on a giant cabinet like this at the flea market. Wish I had it now. Great styling. Great post. Thanks!

I have been searching for a library cabinet for ages and I work at a library.

I first visited your site several months ago through a Google image search for card catalogs. I saw your lovely card catalog that had plants growing in some drawers. Soon after, I became the proud owner of a 72-drawer catalog of my own! I use it mostly as a functional storage piece (essentially a very organized junk drawer with 72 alphabetized compartments), rather than as a display, but I still appreciate the inspiration your images provided. Thank you!

I am coveting another card catalog. I think I’d like to have one nearly every room!
