Repurposed Card Catalogs


I 'm so inspired by these images -- I love the idea of using a vintage card catalog as a console table {I'd love one as a TV console}. Keeping my eye out on Craigslist for the perfect one.

  1. That's a great idea! Plus, i'm imagining all the little things (remotes, videos, games, etc) that could be stored. I hope to see a picture if you find one!

  21. Natalie - I love this post! We currently have an old card catalog sitting in our garage, just waiting to be redone for this very purpose! Your post has been a great inspiration, and a little push to get started. :)

  22. These are bananas. Love them! All of drawers would make for a long repainting/sanding but it would be work it. One would be lovely in an entry way too!
