Learn a Lot: Make your own stock room.

March 28, 2017 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Look closely at this photo. Pretty good disguise, huh?

This shop built a wall, creating much-needed storage space, without a carpenter and without cost. Simply by situating those large display cabinets/ re-purposed armoires a few feet from the wall, and filling in with some silk-foliage trees, they’ve gained enough space (notice the barely-visible shelving units) to hide bags, hangers, and more.

Learn a Lot: Creating a Back Room in your Resale Shop

Need to make YOUR shop sizzle on a budget? There’s a Product for the Professional Resaler for that!

This Learn a Lot Lesson wasn’t taken from a resale shop, but imagine if you used this idea… the wall is saleable as well as functional! (Wonder how much the alligator skull is….)

      Hi dk, The system in the Manual is the one I recommend for keeping track of consignments and even buy-outright purchases. Simple and quick, and it will serve you well until you get to the point of wanting/ affording/ investing in a computerized program.
