Retro-kitchen Inspired Storage

It’s a throwback to all things cool…and a fun way to update your creative
space!

Creating Keepsakes Creative Editor Megan Hoeppner shares some retro-
kitchen inspired storage solutions.


Hey all you cool cats and hot hipsters! It’s time to add a little retro flair to
your crafting space. Inspired by our The Amazing Space winner, Joy Sundloff,
we put together some eye-catching storage containers that come from the
kitchen. Add a little spice to your creative environment with these groovy
ideas.

Paper Towel Decorative Tape Holder

Brawny is going to have to find a new place to hang. This diner-style paper
towel holder is reserved for decorative tape… or ribbon… or anything else
you have on a roll that you’d like to keep at your fingertips.

Moooove over, cream. Bessy is here to hold those crafting tools you find
yourself reaching for time and time again.

in style with a ceramic egg carton.

Milk Jar Brush Bottle

Store taller items such as paint brushes or markers in a retro (or retro-
inspired) milk jar. The cute design will look great in any space!

Yarn Colander

Keep your yarn from tangling in this cool colander container. Simply thread
the end of the yarn through a hole in the colander and pull out as much as
you need whenever you need it!

Berry Basket Color Caddy

Berry baskets are affordable and look as sweet sitting on your desk as the
berries they once held. Keep your favorite color mediums (spray ink, acrylic
paint, ink, etc.) close by in this one happy place.

Step Stool Storage

Have an old step stool? Give it new life as a shelf in your creative space. Use
it to hold larger or flatter items, such as fabric, die-cutting machines, and
more!
