I seem to be talking mostly about home reno on this blog. I assure you, there is a baby on the way.
Due June 7, 2009, and I couldn’t be happier. Er, so, more about renovation!
The room that has become the nursery has a very large closet. Too large to have all the space wasted with just a long pole for hanging things on. Nosir, this sucker needed some shelving and/or drawers.
It had been suggested that with such a large closet, you could easily put a dresser in there. True, but a dresser isn’t very fun or very impressive. We’re some pretty skilled folks, so we figured, “Why not just make a built-in storage solution?” We like our Ikea Pax wardrobe, and were thinking about repurposing its drawers, but at the end of the day they were just a bit TOO wide at ~90cm each (with cabinet and hardware included, a total of 100cm width). So, we purchased 4 narrower “Komplete” drawers in white (“Komplete” is the Pax drawer/shelving line), and some sale-priced white Melamine to make a cab with.
Should be finished tomorrow, and pics will follow.
