In light of my most recent post, I’ve spent my “me time” tonight giving my blog a makeover, not sure if I LOVE it, but it works for now. Speaking of working for me, I’m linking up with Works For Me Wednesday on this post.
Have you found a thrift store dresser/chest with drawers that don’t stay in place? Well I’ve found a solution. Hubby and I found this dresser at GW for a steal-$19.99!! It has 10 drawers and it’s solid wood! Just one small problem, the stinking drawers don’t stay in, so I Googled some help on this and this is what I found . . .
1.) Take the drawer out of the chest
2) Grab some of these fastener things (or small wooden blocks would work as well).
3.) Screw the fastener to the back of the drawer(but not too tightly).
4) Tilt fastener (or wooden block) horizontally and place drawer back inside the chest.
5.) Tilt fastener back up to a vertical position, once inside the chest.
6.) And Voila! Your drawer will stay in place!
It works for me!
What a fab buy. I didn't even know they had something to kep the drawers from acting a fool. I def. need to get some for my kitchen cabinets. I love your blog. You kids are absolutely gorgeous!
