Drawer interiors

We went to pick up a couple of dressers from storage earlier this evening - what a nightmare that was -
one of the dressers was completely in the back - and underneath 2 other dressers - we had to empty out
the room - dig them out - and reload the room.............
Exhausting
Then when we got them home - the liners that I had put in them ( mac tac purchased at the dollar store ) had lifted - like the glue disappeared - some things ( most things I guess ) are second rate - and will not purchase
that from the dollar store again..................so what to do - it was like 10.30 at night - nothing is open - and the dressers are going in the morning -
So....................ta da - I really do like it so much better - this will be my new drawer interiors in the future - I used a flat paint so the wood can still breathe and of course my trusty frog tape ( could not live without it )
What do you think?

Before



after

I thought " Oh, I would love to open my drawers and see this  "
and then realized they will be covered with clothes
I can be such a DINGBAT sometimes
Oh well
WHATEVER


I had all kinds of touch ups to do on the dressers also - they get banged around when moving them
all over the place.............John was an angel tonight - worked hard right along with me.  Off to the
consignment shop tomorrow.

It's the little things.................

I am always searching for unique drawer pulls for the pieces I do - glass being my favorite.............

I came across these tonight  - at 31.50 per pull - they are pricey - but what an impact they would make
on a dresser. Furniture jewels really

 simplyknobsandpull.com

And that got me thinking of all the little things I would like to get for this place - like these


I spent a fortune on our last place for switch plates but they were nothing like this
Perfect for my victorian flat, don't you think? Except it would cost just under
2000,00 to do it. ( spent about 500.00 dollars on our last place and thought that was over the top!!!!

And while I am at it I should get these

in pewter to go with the switch plates,

and these


these would also cost just under 2000,00 
( I think they are worth it, am I nuts? )
aren't they gorgeous?
if you just bought 1 at a time, lol?


Suddenly the glass drawer pulls don't seem so expensive.
