Those drawers with all the wooden slates was used for setting type. Highly valued. I wouldn't destroy the drawers!
I totally agree if I could buy them I would because, oh my gosh, they are so hard to find, at least here in California.
no destroying from me! there were over 100 drawers here!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher Did you go back and buy the rest of them?
I own an original printers cabinet with all of the drawers. Sadly mine no longer have the compartments. The previous owner removed them. I cleaned mine and I use it for scrapbooking supplies, makeup, jewelry, etc. I love it.
Yeah, I almost choked watching that.
The wooden items with all of the compartments, if you clean it up, put class on top and add legs. It could be a coffee table :)
I went to an Airbnb once that used those type set tray as a sort of “guest book”. People staying would leave a little trinket behind in it! Some of the things people left were like tickets, coins, little souvenirs, pieces of nature, etc! It was so fun and definitely had me looking for tiny items to put in it my whole stay 😂
Such a great idea🤗
Printers trays! Great for essential oil storage. I used one with foam inserts for rings. As a child I used them for collecting miniatures. They sell on Pottery Barn for $120
You have now learned that those are type set trays, and are often used for miniature displays!!!
The drawers with the little compartments you could hang one and then encourage guests to leave like a little souvenir they find when they're out looking around maybe a rock or a feather or a little thing they buy to put in there we do that with our guests they seem to like that.
Oh my gosh that place is a gold mine. I would be at that place every weekend and get everything I need from there. I am in Florida and there’s no place by me that’s like that. When I lived in Maryland we had a place like that and it was fabulous. Especially when you’re going for the aesthetic that you’re going for. you need to thrift there all the time. And those trays you got are from a type setter cabinet. The ones with compartments people crave and they put little knickknacks in them. I’ve not seen one like you found that had no compartments in it. They came from some big printing house.
Those drawers are usually really hard to find and quite coveted!! People use them for small collections/collectibles!!
Im glad you found the plain drawers or wooden pieces that you can use for your cricut signs…which is a great idea BTW!! Your guests will love to know great local restaurants, places to go and things to do!!
I love this salvage yard! So much fun!!
Ps.This Cricut is SO COOL!!
You are going to have a blast with it!!
Those drawers are printers trays. I’ve used them to display seashells, stored my sons matchbox cars on it, and miniature items. They are really sought after as intact. Maybe you could find fruit drying trays or old sections of fencing to do the circuit projects.
The drawers you showed with the handle and all the little "compartments" would be FANTASTIC for a sewing room to put all the spools of thread on the wall. It would be decorative and functional. A quilter like me would LOVE to have something like that!
Nice! Good idea
yep. Im a sewist and thats what I see them used for. They ahve to be quite old as the machines that used backwards typeset long gone! Oh Im typing while watching. I guess she took out the dividers?
I have several of these Type Setting Drawers on my walls and they hold my Wade Collections. Wades were miniature ceramic figurines of animals, circus animals, Noah's Arks, nursery rhyme characters, etc. that were packaged in Red Rose Tea in Canada (1967-1984) and America (1983 to 2012). They had some collections that were sold directly and not included in the packaged tea.
That window would be great as a mirror! Go get it! Beautiful projects!
They would look good as coffee table trays
Yes, great bed trays
I have never seen that many type set drawers in one place! Wow!
right! There were 3 large sets of them!
And for only $5 each . Wow !!!
Those "drawers" are type-cases - the lead letters were stored in them - with drawers for different sizes and different fonts - used for hand typesetting and letterpress printing. The compartments are differing sizes for the lower-case letters where quantities were different - e.g. more "e" than "z" - here in the UK they sell for GBP£30 and more each!
Those amazing drawers are the letter trays for a print shop. Each compartment held the metal letters that would go into a larger frame. Really cool find.
That piece you saw at 2.38 min of the vides, was used to store the letters used for printing.The large and medium-sized boxes have one hundred and twenty-two compartments, called drawers, each of which contains the characters representing the same type of letter, sign, space, etc.
It is a lovely piece.
I love how these turned out. I'd add a smear of the navy blue paint to the white wall art. Just a touch, to pop the same color.
I agree, just a little bit of color.
Yes, dry brushing a touch of blue wall color for contrast
Yes, add some blue and maybe hang them closer together. They look a bit off. Too far apart for me. Great idea and I love blue.
Here in Germany you find them everywhere. I use mine for my thimble collection in my sewing room.
Loved the curved window/ door!
that was the coolest thing!
The scrap as you call it from the leaf cuts, you could paint a background in a pretty green, and place those cut pieces over the painted area, kind of reverse images of your leaf project.
Good idea!
My grandmother used to use those draws with the little shelves as displays for little things she collected from all over the world. Still have them hanging at my moms house. She told me they were once used to store old letter stamps used for printing. But who knows, she was a storyteller.
that is what these drawers were previously used for - large printing press!
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher good to know my grandmother didn’t make it up 🤣
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher great Diys Lauren! Love the art work!
What I would do with those framed drawers, I would take your Cricket and put some random, solid blocks of color in some of the cells and make it look like stained glass, of some sort!
You'll do AWESOME things with them, Lauren and Niemann!
My heart skipped a beat seeing the arched window! ❤ I hope you scooped it up. Many ways to style an old window. Great choice using the veneer to make leaves, and leaving the base the original stain color. Beautiful!
My first thought for the arched window was to hang a wreath on it...
You could use those typeset trays as an Advent calendar by removing some of the dividers to have 24 compartments.
Those are printer's drawers. They put their letters for the printing press in them. Cute for faux succulents on the wall.
Just laughed so hard at Lauren wanting to destroy the type setting trays!
I'm not destroying them - just giving them a new purpose (:
Destroying ? I think not
@@FurnitureFlippingTeacher they look lovely how you repurposed
I see a lot of those types of drawers just cleaned up and oiled and then hang wreaths on them… That’s a pretty look and you keep the integrity of the drawers… Around here in Michigan those go for $25-$45 each
Great idea to post 'what to do ' in your area. Love the wall art!
All I can envision for the drawer with all the sections is hanging it vertically for a matchbox car collection. It would be cute in a kids room done up like that.
Chalkboards for welcome messages, vintage artwork on two sides with message or decorative piece in the middle, cork board with push pins for pictures of local business and places to see.
Thanks for sharing! love the ideas!!
IDEA: Use the left over piece of veneer with the leaf cutout as a negative for a picture. Anything could be put behind it. Another wooden drawer OR create a new frame to fit the cutout size. Wall paper, paint or fabric could go behind the leaf shape to show through. I loved the drawers you found and the idea you had for them. Very cool vintage stuff.
Great ideas Beverly! How about using the cutouts for stenciling a wall?
This is exactly the type of place I need to find where I live. I want a couple rustic glass paned doors for my front and back. Also, decor wise, for your ABNB for all the baskets you've been collecting, fill with vintage doorknobs or skeleton keys in old glass jars.... 🤷♀️ Kind of fits the time Era of your place.
Love these… turned out fantastic
I think your textured canvas’s should be a little closer together
The printer boxes are great for hanging on the wall, then put small trinkets in them, as a remembrance of trips and vacations. I actually use mine to store my bottles of Young Living Oils.
Those letter trays are amazing, they make awesome coffee tables for collectables.
Im sure somebody before me has already told you, but just in case, those are printer boxes! They held letter stamps for printing. What a find!
This was such a fun video! From shopping that great salvage store to watching all the creative upcycling! What a wonderful way to start my day! Thank you for taking the time and energy to share this journey with all of us.
WOW! The wood veneer against the darker wood is epic! This is a freaking awesome up cycle! You spent such a small amount time and $$$ and it looks better than the costly one. AND it is custom to your liking! THANK YOU for sharing this magic!
Those are letter set drawers - they were used by printers to store sets of letters in, back in the day when printers had to set every letter into a frame so each sheet of paper could be printed. Each size of font and font would have its own drawer. I have one - I put rock, mineral specimens and seashells in the compartments. My son used some of compartments for his Hot Wheel collection.
Lauren, you guys are my favorite RUclipsrs. Your voice is so relaxing and calming - you could just recite the alphabet /123’s and I’d record and listen on my VCR. 😂😂😂😂😂
Oh my. I'd love to find type setting drawers like those. I love them as is just hanging on the wall. Or to put miniatures in.
The drawers with all the compartments - start a collection of antique small figurines or Lego figurines
I love stores like this !! You can find some real treasures. I love the arched windows. You can always put a transfer behind the glass. That would look neat. The handles on these drawers look great and are unique by adding the leaves. I also love the spackle on the canvas. You have given me some great ideas for creating some wall art. Thanks, Lauren and Neiman, for another great DIY video !!
You can also glue the remaining veneer scrap to another surface and that would actually look cool for your second piece. Use the negative and the positive of the same leaf!
Loved everything ❤️
You really really need to go back and grab that arch window...wow what a find. Buy a mirror and have it cut and place on the back. I have a really big arch window I did that to...everyone comments !!
Yes, tathe strips are how art students cheaply framed our canvases! (in the 70s)...
I used one of those type-face drawers to display my thimble collection. I loved it!! But it was a nightmare to dust.
Awesome shadow boxes for kids bedrooms. Matchbox cars collection for boys, tiny tea sets for girls, thimbles & other nickkacks. Medal collections with no ribbons.
It looks so good. And I love when you do this type of DIY‘s. It just shows how much more people can do and thrift for than just little knickknacks. how much more you can do with your house with these type of items please keep continuing.
The trays with separators are old print trays.
I love hanging stuff with command strips. So much easier!
Those slotted drawers are rad. I'd fill with some decks of cards & poker chips in different colors & maybe a yoyo, or other small game / amusement as an offline entertainment center.
My mom used similar drawers for collectibles. One stored thimbles and the other one housed little souvenir spoons . Many of the thimbles and spoons were from places they had traveled. Both were hung on the wall and looked amazing if that is something that you would like for your design.
The drawers are for typeface for printing - they hold the little metal pieces with a letter on the end - very collectable in the UK. To make wall decor with glass fronts.
Metal side tables are old hospital bedside tables. The drawers are printers tray. Help the type for printing news papers, signs, etc
Love the wall art leaves really cool I love your long hair
Love that idea with the drawers! With the plaster pieces, I would have taken a little gold rub and buff and kind of brushed it on lightly just to bring out the details. Just a thought 😊
Type set drawers. They are awesome. My grandfather had a printing press!
Yes, veneers are amazingly thin. So cool that the Cricut can do that!
Gorgeous Drawers! The hardware is nicely ornate too! SCORE!
I saw the same art at my local Goodwill that I visit frequently!! I buy canvas at GW to create my own wall art.
Those drawers look like they were used to store the metal ...stamps?...for a printing press. What a treasure trove that store is!💕
Those old drawers with the sections look like they came from an old type set business. They would have held letters of different fonts for print on flyers, newspapers, magazines etc. I have not seen them in years.
Miniatures would be collectibles you could showcase in them........or a memory board for peoples graduations or weddings or babies collectibles............dozens of things. I am a seamstress and I could do threads in there and hang them and the colors would be beautiful of the different threads I use. I run a industrial embroidery machine as well and have a couple hundred of threads of different shades of like colors and it would actually become an artistic wall hanging that I could use but the rainbows of colors would be gorgeous! Love how you have used those. I will have to contact my sister in Omaha and see if she knows of the place and perhaps have her get me one or two and I can pick them up when we visit............that would be toooo fun! Lots of family there so I am sure they know of it.
Thanks so much.........fun video!
The cricket is amazing. First time to see anything like this!
So the drawers I think putting essential oils would be cool!
Love them all! I’ve cut chipboard on my Cricut but the veneer looks so cool.
Hi Lauren! I absolutely love these types of videos. Gives me tons of inspiration and motivation to create my own decor! Please do more of these!! TFS🤍
So cool that you are demonstrating the versatility of the Cricut, that it can be used everywhere including THE FLOOR! So cool!
I love the way you are broadening the decorating DIYS! 🙌
The drawers would be great natural ‘abstract’ art👍
The leaves are terrific! I've heard about Cricut but had not seen how it works. Good job. The simplicity of the three panels just worked great. Your artistic eye is a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing. Be safe.
I am so excited you did the wood veneer project. So interesting. Great job.
I love my cricut air2. Your thrifting ideas were great, affordable,and look good.
A tip. I try paper the size of the artwork taped to the wall to visually see the arrangement on a wall. But I love the texture and the simplicity of the art. You could add color later if you wanted.
Your Triptych spackling project Is amazing!
WOW! DeWalt is very versatile! Tools and WEIGHTS~ TeeHee!
Those turned out SO pretty! Love my cricut! You were also really making me crack up at the start of the video. Just so much fumbling for words and the giant!!! 😄😅 love when yall crack up!
Yes type setting drawers. It held the metal letters that were molded backwards and used to print newspapers on big vintage presses. Some of us n the sewing world would love these. Ive seen them with thimbles, small thread spools, button hooks and other small tools. Or just displayed as is with a wreath on it. I thing by age they could be 100 years old or at least older side of vintage, because those type of machines not used in a long time
Great deal on the type drawers!
Your leaf patterns were all beautiful choices. Loved your artistic talent. You have a great eye!
Wow ,it’s amazing what a little cleaning up will do!
I love your art work because it's original and no-one will have any the same. Fantastic!!!
The drawers was an excellent find. I also like the different tones of wood. Nice job.
Those fern prints turned out so pretty. I am impressed with the quality, they look like inlaid woodwork Nicely done!!🌿
Love the wood Leaves...Very cool..love the contrast of not staining the veneer too🥰👍
I love the old type set drawers. Mine sadly was a pain to keep dusted so I sold it.
Sorry for jumping the gun! You did an amazing job with the wall decor!! Love nature!! You are doing a great job!!!
Your home is really coming together.
What wonderful upcycles, they all turned out great. I love these kinds of videos.
Just saw this. Nice job! Looks great in your living room! It's so fun to see it coming together!
The compartments are the best part of those things
The drawers are cool idea as far as the window I know my niece uses them as picture frames she did her kids weddings each one has their own window turned out really cool
I prefer the project with the recycled drawers with the veneer leaves on them. Very cute & clever idea. The white recycled canvases seem a bit stark to my eye. They do brighten up the dark wall, but it appears to me like 3 snow swept empty fields. If they had small dark birds flying across them in the distance, some other small wildlife images, even a lake, I might like them more?
I found your channel a month ago and I am really loving it. Your hard work and work ethic is amazing!
Art behind sofa looks great.
Here in Spain the wooden typography drawers are so difficult to find and extremely expensive! Inuse mine to hang my rubber stamp collection. This place is heaven
Cover a whole wall with those drawers! Would make an amazing accent wall!
How about putting on legs for a table.My grandmother had a table with the same top and it had a safe glass on top. Used it as a side table next to my uncle’s recliner. (Her brother)
Love your upcycled canvas, gotta see if there is somewhere in my house where I could do something like this. Thanks for these home decor videos, they're very helpful!!
