Need more storage area?

Although this hint will go against the principals of Feng Shui, take an old dresser, remove all of the drawers, and toss the rest.

Now, using the drawers, buy 4 small casters, you know, those little wheels and afix one to each corner of the drawer. If you like, you can get a couple of hinges and a piece of thinner plywood and make lids for your new container. You also need to affix a handle of some sort to the front of the drawer.

Fill your new containers with sheets and pillow cases or a couple of blankets and roll them under your bed.

These containers can even be used in a childs bedroom to store toys or extra shoes, or just about anything you dont want to leave sitting out.

And since most beds have bed skirts, the new containers wont even be seen.

Thanks for this reminder! I remember my mom making these for extra storage for my sisters and me when we were small. They really came in handy and kept lots of items out of sight that we had no storage room for.

omg. what a great idea! i have sooo many old dressers that need tossing, and now i know what to do with them..is it hard to attach wheels to them? will the wood splinter if i am not careful?

thanks
