We are slowly but surely working on our office space, that is in desperate need of some loving care.  We needed storage and workspace, and of course it had to be show stopping amazing, so I dreamed up a French blue, multi-drawer apothecary cabinet . . . with 18 drawers of course.

I have yet to fill them up.  Tell me, what would you store in this beauty if you had 18 drawers to fill?
