That means several different things, including being able to get to the item I need, when I need them.
Right now, my patterns, rulers, miscellaneous notions and a lot of other random sewing stuff are stored in a two drawer lateral filing cabinet. While this is great for the amount of space, it's not so good for organization. Everything is just kind of piled in there. And whatever I need, it's almost always at the bottom of the drawer.
I've been searching for a better storage solution for months. I had a tall chest with many drawers in mind. For whatever reason, the Goodwill I normally go to has been putting outrageous prices on their furniture lately. Prices such as $130 for a smallish entertainment unit made of pressboard and laminate, with broken drawers and missing knobs. Really outrageous.
So, imagine my surprise when I found this.....
A tall dresser with 7 drawer. Made of real wood. Made locally about 10 years ago. Priced at....$45!
Yes it needs some work. There are a couple of generous dings around the edges.
And the dark stain has to go.
But for that price, I'm willing to put in a little elbow grease and buy some paint!
I can't wait to get this baby prettied up and ready for use.

What a good deal! I think it looks good as it is but we have dark furniture. Can't wait to see it when you're done!
it is so cute, and perfect for what you had in mind. Maybe pink!
