Retro-inspired storage solutions

This post was sparked by a conversation I had last week with my friend (and retro-luxe reader) Jennifer about the issue of storage space in smaller, older homes. Particularly when you have all the accompanying supplies, toys and just "stuff" that goes along with kids.

And like Meredith, I've been re-doing the boudoir in my South Austin home, having recently purchased a gorgeous '60s dresser set (photos to come). Next up is a storage bench to replace the wicker one that I got who-knows-where and is falling apart. I really love all the cool MCM-looking storage benches, chairs and ottomans available right now. And I'm hoping there will be some big Black Friday deals on them, because mama loves a bargain!

Check out these, found at Target and Urban Outfitters:


Aubergine storage chair, here. [note: can't actually find it on UO site, however]
Gold skirted storage bench, for a touch of Hollywood Regency glamour, here.

Metallic storage bench, here.


Orange tweed storage bench, here. I'm loving this one the most.
Tufted storage ottoman, here.
Tufted storage bench (not crazy about the legs, though), here.

  1. I love these, especially the orange tweed. UO is doing cool stuff - I want to hate UO but just can't; I always find great designs there. I want to find out what great finds you get on Black Friday, too!

  2. I agree -- UO makes me feel infinitely old and un-hip. Oh, and fat. But they do have some cool stuff. Damn them!! ;)

  3. Yup, the orange one for sure. When I clicked on it, I also noticed UO's persimmon night & day sofa. Wow! I loved Jennie's comment about UO making her feel fat, LOL.
