Find a Dresser
If you don’t have an old dresser at home that you can repurpose for storage, there are plenty of outlets for finding one. Check classified listings in the newspaper and online or visit garage sales for great deals. You may also find inexpensive dressers at second-hand stores or flea markets. Don’t worry about how it looks because you’re going to give it a great new appearance.
Give your old dresser a new look by adding a fresh coat of paint. Then make sure it’s functioning correctly with new or tightened drawer pulls. Just because the dresser will be in your garage or basement doesn’t mean it can’t look great! You can paint it in one neutral color or get creative with bright colors, stripes or designs. Here are some tips for painting wood furniture and fixing up drawer pulls.
Drawer Pulls
To make your drawer pulls look and work better, remove and shine them with steel wool if they’re metal. Or you could re-paint them in a fun color. Use new screws and tighten the pulls when you put them back on. To replace with new pulls, measure the width of the current pulls before heading out to your local home improvement store.
