Low on drawer space in your kitchen? Repurpose a vintage card catalog into a handy kitchen storage piece! The drawers are perfectly sized for flatware and other cooking utensils, and you can even label them so you remember what goes where. Love this idea!

I'd love this as a spice cabinet...
where could you buy something like this?
I bought a vinatage 2 drawer metal one in excellect condition at a flea market about a year ago for $8. Intended to use it for [long handle] utensil storage but the drawers are a fraction too shallow for some. It now lives on the shelf of my mobile kitchen cart & houses my most often used spices. The drawers are the perfect width for the [store] bottles to lay, labels facing up.
It's also light enough that I can move it to my limited counter space during a weekend cooking marathon & top it with my large cutting board which is another perfect fit. An unexpected bonus for me as it raises the work surface to my height. Win-win.
Now that libraries have all gone digital they're not that hard to find. Ask. You may well find one sitting in a storage room.
Yea, just like @diana bee asked and @discerning answered, this IS an awesome idea in fact pretty much anything with a card catalog would be awesome but they're next to impossible to find! I would love one but I see so many posts like this one and roll my eyes cause it's just not something normally people will be able to find without paying far too much for someone to custom make or having to make themselves.
This is great, although if I was a guest here I would be totally baffled as to why they didn't label the drawers!
I've seen these (even smallish ones) often enough on craigslist, but of course you'd have to be diligent to snag one at a price you can live with. $8 is amazing... clearly the seller was lacking in ambition! XD (Although maybe because it was only 2 drawers?)
These do come up on CL fairly often. I can't stop buying them, to the point that I have too many. (First world problem, I know.) I had one in my kitchen for years, and may put it back again after I repaint it from tomato red to a more neutral hue.
The key to snagging them on CL is to save the search in all your local areas. Then, check it every morning, and you'll know when they turn up.
Here is the one(s) I Must Not Buy, even though I want them. If you're local to NH, you can get 'em.

Also, in NH at "The Log Cabin" antique shop in Kingston, a really great industrial one made of metal - maybe 15 or 20 drawers? It's very heavy, but would be great on a table.
