Well SP, I think it may be easier than you think. If you guys have used office furniture surplus stores near, I am sure they'll have the end pieces (file drawers) for a great price. The center piece may cost a bit more, like "retail" but you'll then have what you're looking for. This looks like an awesome future project. I look forward to seeing everything come together.
hey cut2clothe...thanks for the advice...I'm just looking for a drawer this size...something long with at least 9 drawers...and I'll DIY the rest...thakns.
I know. A dresser with a lot of drawers would be so awesome. Something about being able to sort your clothes into categories is clarifying if you will. I too am on a hunt for that "just right" dresser. Keep inspiring.
Hi Soul Pretty, actuallyI saw something like this some years ago I believe it was the Small Space, Big Style show on HGTV , and the gentleman had dresser just like this, but it was from an office supply store. He used office furniture as a dresser instead. A friend of mine also saw the show and had this huge closet in her studio, where she took an office file cabinet (that houses legal documents) and uses it as a place to store her towels, toilet tissue etc. I've been hooked on the idea ever since. This looks like the desks that collage/paper artists use. I'm sure if you took this photo to a art store, like Lee's Art Shop/Utrecht/or Pearl Paint, someone would know exactly where to find this piece.

That is a dream dresser. Sending you good shopping mojo!
ReplyDeletethank you, thank you, thank you...
DeleteYou will! OR if you can at least find the center piece with the little letter box drawers, you can diy the two end pieces for a similar look.
