going green.............

LOOK!!!!! here is my wonderful husband busy putting the handles on my new chest of drawers......................


and here she is!!! what a BEAUTY!!! 28 drawers in total ( yes, i am short of some handles) but i am planning on looking for them today.

here you can almost get the idea of how much space they have. i sold alot of my stamps to"make room" as i was not sure how many the chest would hold, but now i only half filled 4 drawers!! i am so excited!

here i put all my brads etc into little plastic containers - they are so cheap! they have lids, and the ones in the front are the lids. they are half as shallow as the container, so if you don't have alot of one thing, you can put it in there. they are about R2-50 each ( which is about 35 US cents i think). in the bigger drawers i plan to put all my dabbers etc and bigger things. i chose the colour - i wanted it practical and as i love green and blue, it just screamed at me! it is a Velvaglo paint, so you can just wipe it off if it gets dirty!! can't wait for the weekend to put some more stuff in! BUT - i ran out of little containers and i can't find any more!! so i will have to wait until i can get them again for the little things! let me know what you think!

OH CARIENA! I am GREEN with envy at your wonderful new drawers! What company makes it (unassembled?) Why did they short you handles? Good luck finding more, and your plastic thingies, too! You need to shop more to fill that Baby up! ; )

Hi Cariena, I am sure there must be 192 (all the members?) very envious folk who would just love to have this fantastic chest of drawers. I thought your DH made it? I am sure there will be orders coming from your pictures!! Warm regards, Sue

Oh Cariena...we could keep your DH employed full time making these for us! You are so lucky to have a hubby who knows how and is willing to do that for you.

Really lovely color cariena. Enjoy your chest of drawers!
Cariena, That looks stunning. My favourite colour and a wonderful chest. We are able to buy little containers with lids at Plastic Warehouse in PE.
