One day I will have a whole wall of built in linen cupboards. I even have a suitable wall, but given the floor needs re-doing first I bought these wardrobes cheaply to fill the void. It was actually a three piece set, two double door cupboards (one of which is not in this photo) and a narrower cupboard with draws. The makers mark tells me they were made in 1964 in Maitland, I forget the company and will pass on pulling one out to double check.
Neither bigger cupboard had any shelves so the Mr very carefully put some in for me so I could use them for linens. He also added some magnetic closures so I didn't have to key lock them closed each time. All three cupboards are neat and organised and I now have all the linen out of the second pantry which gives me a lot more space for pantry stockers.
Don't you love the old suitcases and hat boxes? I do! They were gifted from the Mr's parents and they are being used as storage too. I have others throughout the house, I love them all a lot. You might also notice the lack of cornice and bare plasterboard. We are slow renovators at best on this house. I love that there is no rush to finish this one.

One day, when my linen cupboard goes in, I plan on using these for fabric and yarn storage; there is plenty of room for patterns and bibs and bobs too. I can't wait!
I have serious hat box and suit case envy!!!!!!!!!!!!
