Stash your CDs, toys, love letters and other treasures in unique containers

When it comes to thinking outside the box, the highly talented, high spirited part-timers who work at Timeless Treasures are the best! They can help you figure out exactly what solution suits you and your home style.
Joining Jenny, Hayley, Caroline and Lucy this week is Nina, a nurse by profession and a creative talent on the side. She came up with the shop window you see here.
Her theme reflects our take on getting organized and being ecologically savvy. Vintage, recycled boxes and bins make ideal storage for collections and supplies that you want to keep.
At Timeless Treasures we think you can be organized and original. It just takes a bit more effort and imagination to use, say, a storage box made from found crates and spare hardware than to buy a box made of cardboard or plastic from a box store. In the current design vernacular it's called "repurposing." And we are all for it.
Among our favorite storage solutions is this old California melon crate that someone ingeniously made into a covered box.
It's a perfect size for storing small toys, current magazines or your collection of baseball cards. You could also mount this crate on a wall and use it to display small objects or stacks of DVDs.

It's just one possibilitiy we now have in store for you. So have a look around your place, decide what you would like to organize to ease the clutter and come see us for a few ideas.
