I have wanted a card catalog for the longest time.  I have drooled over them online.  I would pet them in antique stores.  I could not, however, find one that would fit well in our home or wasn't one trillion dollars.  My other concern was that card catalogs are pretty but they aren't exactly useful.

I then had a crazy idea during tax season. I asked Nate if he thought it was possible to build a cabinet that had a card catalog looking front for our office. I had previously seen an awesome faux Murphy bed so I knew the card catalog front should be doable.  The thing was that I needed it to look like an antique piece. It needed to look like it had real drawers and not just wood slapped onto a board.  I wanted it tall and narrow.  I was being uber picky and making a lot of requests of my zombie accountant husband.  Surprisingly he said "Uhhh, sure."  I had to wait impatiently for the end of tax season for my creation came to life.  Ike loves it.

We had a garage sale on Saturday.  It was a huge success.   We opened early because there were people in multiple cars in our driveway.  We were then swarmed by a massive group of people.  Like seriously 20-30 running through our garage grabbing things.  It was like the day after Thanksgiving at Walmart.  I hated to tell them that we truly didn't have anything but junk.  Just like Walmart.
