By the way, I can see that your drawer's handle is made up of wood. Maybe you can add a metal hardware as a handle to make it more beautiful. If you think that drilling a hole to make adhere the screws is quite tedious, then you can use liquid nails.unbrakohttp://www.leonardindustrial.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-4393819611159496362012-02-15T01:47:01.246-05:002012-02-15T01:47:01.246-05:00I have created a cabinet out of salvaged wood.

The kitchen and 'junk' drawers (2!) are the first things on my decluttering list for the next few weeks. Thanks for the reminder to tackle one thing at a time. I have a to curb my natural tendency to just jump right in and try to do it all at once.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07359856959698258580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-30305364364132214012011-01-14T08:33:17.517-05:002011-01-14T08:33:17.517-05:00it's ongoing isn't it? amazing how quickly...it's ongoing isn't it? amazing how quickly stuff piles up. <br /><br />that suitcase holding sketchbooks is so nice!ana @ i made it sohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14635343995271698986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-37685329200153190132011-01-14T08:00:33.608-05:002011-01-14T08:00:33.608-05:00Jackie: My mom gave me a big 5 drawer Rubbermade-o...Jackie: My mom gave me a big 5 drawer Rubbermade-on-wheels thing.

I came across a small, three-drawer Rubbermade tower on wheels where I keep all of my non-paper crafting goods. But that's getting a little tight given all of the fabric, glue, sewing supplies, polyfill, etc. etc. Suitcases aren't a bad idea...at least for the fabric crafts! Hmm.
