It took 2 serious car loads to get my purchase home. I waited until they had a 50% off day, because even though $2 - $5 is cheap, I'm cheaper. $28 later, I had filled my garage with empty drawers. After about three months of stumbling over them, wrestling laundry around them, hearing them crash in the middle of the night when the cats played in them, I FINALLY started my project. Honestly one of the only reasons I waited so bloody long in the first place is I am currently also refinishing my hardwood floors. So I had to finish that room before I could put the shelves in... or so I tell myself...</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">So here's what I did: </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">1.) Buy a crap load of drawers on the cheap</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">2.) Store them in the garage for an extended amount of time</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">3.) Remove all hardware (drawer pulls, roller brackets, odd screws, etc.)</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">4.) Remove any wall paper or contact paper linings</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">5.) Start sanding, then sand, sand, sand... I should probably mention that you should wear some sort of mask while you do this. No one likes dust boogers. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">6.) Measure the wall on which you would like your shelves to go</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">7.) Find a flat open area and tape off your wall measurements (this is so you can get a feel for where everything should go, without accidentally making it 11 feet high for 8 foot ceilings)</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">8.) Lay out your project. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0b_6Vhlj0Sl06S0WX81mLltmEukiOL2kRRwKr7sLVeANZs3yCsb7QT8snznc1tdOlfNJXFU0hqiylVwlTdH9vbxnY8X7XB5RMyEELlxCXKjcE7YZTauRWWdFm80giXsZjf_sdmfxO3MWZ/s1600/ResizedImage_1332171041095+%282%29.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0b_6Vhlj0Sl06S0WX81mLltmEukiOL2kRRwKr7sLVeANZs3yCsb7QT8snznc1tdOlfNJXFU0hqiylVwlTdH9vbxnY8X7XB5RMyEELlxCXKjcE7YZTauRWWdFm80giXsZjf_sdmfxO3MWZ/s320/ResizedImage_1332171041095+%282%29.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Take a picture of this. You'll probably want to refer back to it later, but chances of it really looking like this are pretty slim. It's almost like playing reverse Tetris. Almost. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I wanted some negative spaces in mine, to hold knik-knacks and such, so I spaced the drawers out here and there. Planned on putting some wood shelves between some (you can see my mock up shelves in the middle of the photo) and I wanted to remove most, if not all of the press board backing. Knowing that this was going to go onto a white wall, I thought it would be cool to have that show through randomly. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">9.) Take your hammer and remove some press board. You will probably have to re-support those shelves with nails, because they are not really sturdy without the backs, but the stuff came out fairly easy. Watch for wood staples after this step. And wear some safety glasses. Safety first man. Safety first. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">10.) Decide what end you are going to start with and start bringing those shelves, a couple at a time, into the spot you want to eventually have your shelves. You could just screw everything together where it sits, stain it or paint it, and then try to wrestle it into the spot you eventually want to have it, but there is <u>always </u>(for me anyhow) something. Something doesn't fit, or gets in the way, or is lopsided and you didn't realize it, or breaks or whatever else. So, start fitting your drawers together a few at a time. Since I had so many different styles of shelves it took a variety of screw sizes to make this work. I used 4 screws to attach each drawer to the next. Screwing from below so that the screws are not as visible on your bookshelves. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">11.) I set up all of the left side, then separately set up all of the right. They do nestle together, but are two large pieces just in case I get the urge to move it. I spread out a tarp on the REDRUM floor, gently moved the shelves onto the tarp and stained the whole thing with Minwax Wood Finish - Natural Stain. Because that's what I had, and that's what I wanted. I love how each drawer (now shelf) is made different and is accented by this light stain. You could also paint it if you want like they did in the photos above.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWQk7k-vpmh1jZ_a7Btgde6YrjWSU-X9ukN64VYjh8G_k4A5wnFEqrsLNBV5_zMdGl0MwagKLZIMUdqw0R0e2ps1_cncdfbDSr9__j1_MyfQiE8IioF2iCnz1KBKaER_1WEVXJPqMgOk7j/s1600/wood_finish_260x270.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWQk7k-vpmh1jZ_a7Btgde6YrjWSU-X9ukN64VYjh8G_k4A5wnFEqrsLNBV5_zMdGl0MwagKLZIMUdqw0R0e2ps1_cncdfbDSr9__j1_MyfQiE8IioF2iCnz1KBKaER_1WEVXJPqMgOk7j/s1600/wood_finish_260x270.jpg" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">12.) When your stain (or paint or whatever you decide to use) dries, move the shelves back to where you want them and bracket them to the wall. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">13.) Add some shelves inside some of the larger drawers, fill it with books, knick-knacks movies or whatever your little heart desires. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlD7_xxIFuMLsvt6mw77za7iS0Dj7Nxmpw39gtpnpeRT5BGZGpYNXew4obodB3rVVOdagHFkEVop7iULUFoQHk2zbJcnKTAwcp6fgaxBztA3BBzR-LrzAciqZK29ftgQ_N_hqSnZtxMSz_/s1600/ResizedImage_1332170995274.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlD7_xxIFuMLsvt6mw77za7iS0Dj7Nxmpw39gtpnpeRT5BGZGpYNXew4obodB3rVVOdagHFkEVop7iULUFoQHk2zbJcnKTAwcp6fgaxBztA3BBzR-LrzAciqZK29ftgQ_N_hqSnZtxMSz_/s640/ResizedImage_1332170995274.JPG" width="360" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br />

Since I did this on a whim, you only get the two pictures. Sorry. I'm all sorts of sucking on this post. I will give you a step by step though!

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">1.) Find a blank tile. This was given to me along with a huge stack of others when a friend moved recently.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">2.) Glue (Gorilla Glue is KING) a picture hanger onto the back. Nice and centered.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">3.) Pick a pretty color of acrylic paint (or two, or three).</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">4.) Paint your tile. Cover it nice and thick (trust me, two layers is much easier to scratch off than one).</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">5.) Get yourself a nice sharp pencil.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">6.) Start scratching your design out of the paint.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">7.) When you're finished scratching, brush off all of the flecks of paint.</span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">8.) Find some acrylic sealant and spray a coat over the tile.</span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">9.) Wait for it to dry and find the perfect 11 year old to gift it too! :)</span></span>badheaddayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17499270116361573956noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3206311711063565747.post-54412431655425718252011-07-18T16:22:00.000-07:002011-07-18T16:22:26.475-07:00103: Kelsies super late birthday present<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcoP2hO6WWpElFnExzofcD67jYaZ8crK4WFOU0PO_LEAzD27V0DtFbSpimYD-iBnO9IpwlQS0s4nPVZ2hlXinX0NXxXcOgKH9w3gBWt-m_Wetq9Q71DDPK5nqvUrlJ-XZ1zGb_Xmhpl0Jy/s1600/IMG_0691.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcoP2hO6WWpElFnExzofcD67jYaZ8crK4WFOU0PO_LEAzD27V0DtFbSpimYD-iBnO9IpwlQS0s4nPVZ2hlXinX0NXxXcOgKH9w3gBWt-m_Wetq9Q71DDPK5nqvUrlJ-XZ1zGb_Xmhpl0Jy/s320/IMG_0691.JPG" width="320" /></a></span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Canvas.

</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">The leg assembly was pretty ingenious. There were two separate legs, one for each side (duh), and a big spring loaded brace thing that hooked into place on each leg, keeping it sturdy. With the legs, you'll notice one is longer than the other, this is because the shorter leg is mounted under the table on an extra piece of wood making it the same length as the longer legs. The longer legs are mounted directly under the table. That way, it sits level when it's open and when it's folded up, the legs lay flat together.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br />
