Thrifting and Reselling Storage: Where Do You Store Your Scores?

As a reseller your abode will occasionally mimic the soul crushing squalor seen on Hoarders. You're not alone, it's part of the process. As a reseller you can never stop taking in more merchandise, and it's tough to accommodate, especially if you're an apartment dweller! After I happily took in my best friend as a roommate it took me days to have a liveable home again! (The boxes! They were everywhere. Everywhere!)

The best solution I could come up with were storage boxes in my ample-sized closet and open storage in my living room. From here I'm going to go through each bin and separate unsold wares into Etsy, eBay, Donate, and Antique Store categories and document each one. It's a lot of work, and I'll be sure to do this one box at a time so my home doesn't get overwhelmed and messy again.

Almost all of the books in the tall pine bookshelf are books I'm selling.

I tried having my own "office/studio" where I lined shelves with my wares and kept craft supplies accessible, but that wasn't working for me. I'm feeling more creative and working better with a combined dining room/work space, it keeps me inspired and productive. There's better energy this way.

I'm enjoying the combination of vintage merchandise on display and vintage merchandise stored away. I'm going to keep working at it every day until I find the perfect balance in this organization game. Consider this a sincere warning from the inside as a reseller and/or artist, there's no avoiding the occasional monstrous disaster mess. At least every day is a new opportunity to practice slaying the mess-beast!
