Milk Glass Storage

I know I just showed you my new stamp room organization with see-through glass. And it was a step in the right direction.


But then I started dreaming about using milk glass. And boy, does it work! First off, I found most of these pieces at thrift stores for usually under a dollar. That's less expensive than plastic containers in the dollar spot at Target! I did however impatiently purchase a pair of pieces on Ebay for a decent price. With shipping, they came to $5.50 a piece but it was worth it to finish off the plans I had for my space. :)

From left to right, vase holds ruler (56 cents Goodwill). Goblet holds pencils and bone folder ($5.50 Ebay). Goblet holds punches (under $1 Goodwill). Candy dish holds clear blocks (56 cents Goodwill). Candy dish holds adhesive ($5.50 Ebay). Planter holds scissors (99 cents Salvation Army).


I moved my accessory holders off of the table so it doesn't look so cluttered.

Then I was having such fun and luck finding milk glass at all the thrift stores in town, that I couldn't just stop with the stamping table. The obsession poured over onto the hutch. I have been wanting to paint this hutch white. But now that the white pieces pop against the cream, I think I might leave the hutch cream. What do you think?

Most of these pieces are holding ribbon right now, random pieces I have cut up. Bottom left planter (56 cents Goodwill), large fruit bowl! ($1.49 Salvation Army), oblong dish (75 cents family thrift), candy dish (56 cents Goodwill).

The second shelf has a fun green dish I liked. It's EO Brody, who also made milk glasses. I got it for 56 cents at Goodwill. The third shelf large vase came from Goodwill ($3.96, geez!). Top shelf is random purple vase that I'm going to put a paper flower in (56 cents Goodwill) and a green Indiana Glass Candy Dish ($2.50 family thrift).

Now I really love my purple walls with all the white and dark colored dishes!


Another thing I was loving at the thrift stores were the glass ice cream dishes. So I picked some up (33 cents & 56 cents) and found a place for them on my Creative Memories shelf. I'm weeding out the plastic jars I guess.


And this is not the stamp room but the milk glass obsession also poured over into other parts of my house. I was finding these cut bud vases and have them displayed in my kitchen window (33 cents to 99 cents at Goodwill's and Salvation Army's).


I so hope I am done shopping for and collecting glass. I just wanted to get all this organized NOW and then be done with it. I get crazy like that. You know....
