We're
starting to clean out our house to eventually put it on the market, so I took a
Saturday morning and decided to weed through my clothes. Two
Goodwill-labeled garbage bags full of of tube tops, short shirts, and
way too low cut pants that just won't work for this momma anymore, and I
was left with a still full dresser and a half full three-drawer
plastic bin taking up entirely too much space in my closet.
In order to make space in the closet, the three-drawer bin had
to go. To free up space in the dresser, I combine two drawers using a quick, cheap
divider.
Here's
one of the original drawers. I measured the width, depth, and
height of the drawer. Mine was 15" x 13" x 5".
I scoured the
basement for something that would be rigid enough to act as a wall
but was easy to cut. I decided to use a cardboard box. For
each drawer, I cut one piece that was slightly under 15" x 5"
and one that was slightly under 13"x5". (Mayleigh
decided that I needed a snowman pin in the picture.)
By
this point, I had 2 helpers. Kezzie practiced his standing
while Mae "clipped" and wrote her "list" on the
cardboard.
I
don't have a picture of it, in the middle of each piece, I cut a slit
3/4 of the way through the cardboard then merged the two pieces
together and fit it into the emptied drawer.
Here's
what I came up with.
It's not the prettiest solution, but it freed up one of my drawers and I was able to get the plastic cart out of the closet!
