There are some people who love to do laundry and enjoy
sorting, washing, folding and putting it away. Sometimes I am one of them and honestly most times I dread doing laundry.
We decided to build something to keep laundry tucked away and
found
this plan on Shanty 2 Chic... I love their website so much and we have
gotten quite a few ideas from them . We used their plan for the Laundry Dresser
with a few tweaks of our own.
The supply list is identical to what they used for the most
part except we decided to create 2 false drawers instead of 3. We also used simple
knobs instead of the cup drawer pulls to match our existing dresser and side
table. JT routed the top of the dresser to soften the sharp edges.
We used hooks and cable wire to hold the doors to the
dresser so the fronts don’t just fall to the floor when opened.
Here are pictures of the process. Enjoy !
