I would want to stop and grab them. My cousin took drawers and used them as shelves on her wall. I've been want to do it ever since.

People are always giving me a hard time for picking up stuff from the curbside. However, when I upcycle the stuff, I get tons of compliments on them. I think it's a great way to keep things out of landfills. "One man's trash is another man's treasure" slowly helps to save the planet. Besides, if you can get it for free, why pay for it?! You did a great job on this. It's unique, classy, and cheap!! Plus, the addition of those extra shelves brings it up a notch. Thank you for sharing the additional tips! Especially, about contacting Home Depot CS. My local store barely cuts anything anymore, so I'll be using that tip quite often. I never considered shiplap, but I'll be using it on my future projects, for sure. It's so much nicer looking than plain wood boards, and that price difference, 🤯!!! Sure wish I had learned that tip sooner! Thank you for all you do. I've learned so much from you these past 5 years, Norrine. I appreciate you and know how blessed I am to have such an amazing, smart, kind, crafty, and organized friend. ❤

@andrealavigne7824 6 месяцев назад

It's kind of funny that you have this up now, because there is a house around the corner from us where whoever lives there has been putting out furniture at the curb, presumably for the garbage collectors. Most recently, I even saw a cabinet-style TV out in front of their house! I honestly don't know what they've been up to with all that, but I figure they're either slowly replacing all that furniture with new(er) items, or they're just really rough with their things & render them useless. At any rate, I don't think I've seen drawers so far. But whenever I pass there & see what they've got out, it just kills me that it's headed for our landfill rather than the recycling center that's only about 30 miles from here! (Here in Texas, 30 miles is easily "only"! LOL) I'm not sure if that recycling center would take regular furniture, but I know they take TVs at least. Yes, there is a small fee for that sort of item, but still...! I even took an old, dead exercise cycle up there a month or so ago, and they took that with no questions. Well, that's my rant for the day. LOL I would be tempted to stop to look at their "junk" more closely, but I think Mama would kill me if I brought stuff home like that. LOL I hope y'all are doing well. Take care, & have an awesome day! :)

@TheCraftyOrganizer 5 месяцев назад

That would make me want to drive by there every day just to see what there is. Lol you’re being much more behaved than I am.

Brilliant! You are so lucky to live in a neighborhood with such potential treasure on the curb. I love these drawer and shelf techniques! Thank-you so much for the cutting advice. I can’t cut anything at home, but I’ve hesitated using the free cut service worrying if it’s possible to get a clean edge (from a dull blade) or even the correct measurements. Gosh, don’t DIYs like this from free items make you feel powerful, too? So smart and looks great! 💖💫

@TheCraftyOrganizer 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! 😊 The cuts are always clean... but I have had to double check the measurement once or twice.

Your bookcase made out of drawers has given me a wonderful idea for storage in my craft room! I'm going to take a drawer unit that I already have, remove the drawers and make a bookcase out of them. But then I'm going to go one step further and add wood to the places on the drawer "shell" where the drawers were resting to make more bookshelves! Then I'm going to turn the whole piece 90 degrees, add more separators and make it into storage for my scrapbook papers (because they're a hot mess right now)! Thank you so much for the inspiration! I just subscribed to your channel to learn more fabulous tips on organizing my "new" craft room! God bless you for all the time you take to inspire and encourage other crafters!

I have a bunch of drawers, so I can pull this off for ZERO dollars! Now THAT'S a budget I can work with! 😉 This was fun!! Thanks, sweetie! Hugs, MK 🤗❤️🌵❤️🤗

I have a king-size bed, but I have 3 bars going across with a bunch of legs on it going across diagonally to help hold my mattresses up, and I could use a little more space to hold thins I would just have to find a little smaller drawers that would fit between the legs.

@pamelaklotz7995 6 месяцев назад

Go to customer assistance if several of the men there say no, for some reason. They will call for the person on shift at that time. They may not like it, but too bad. ITS THERE JOB!!!
