Fresh Ideas For Repurposing Dressers




Don't you just love it when you see a clever new use for an ordinary object?
I do! 

I especially like dressers. This is probably because I have a lot of stuff. 
When you have a lot of stuff, those extra dressers come in handy! 
As a matter of fact, I have three extra old dressers in my home.

One is in the foyer and holds seasonal  things such as winter gloves and hats.
 Another dresser in my living room keeps all of my daughters' art and craft supplies 
close at hand and organized.  A third extra dresser in my home is in my youngest
 daughter's room and is the perfect place for controlling stuffed animal overflow 
an as storage for clothes she is growing into.

Take a look at what some creative folks did with these old dressers, dresser drawers, 
and mirrors,  and maybe you will be inspired to think of how you could repurpose 
a dresser in your own home!

Now check out some creative ways to use pallets in your outdoor landscape. Enjoy!

On a final note: A word about safety and wood pallets 
Be advised that some pallets are chemically treated and could actually be hazardous to your health. There are regulations in the US which require pallets to be treated with either chemicals or heat before being shipped overseas. The safest kind of pallets to use for projects are those that are marked "HT" on the wood - that means they have been heat treated by being dried in a kiln.

Aside from chemicals, pallets can also harbor bacteria, insects, and mold. You never know where a pallet has been, or if it could have come in contact with something dangerous, or if it was used to ship a hazardous material such as a pesticide.

Keep these things in mind when considering your pallet project.
