So I was at Rinks flea market in Marietta the other day, and as I was admiring a small set of metal drawers filled with junk, when the guy who ran the booth asked, "So you like screws huh?" And I said, "Not really, but I'd like the set of drawers they come in." My favorite storage solutions are old painted drawers from desks and dressers, mail sorters (don't tell the post office!) and suitcases. Until I finally getting around to photographing my studio, here are some other beautiful storage units.
