Paint Me White and Reorganize!


As most of you know I am reorganizing my little house.
I live on 30 square meter, (yes! incl. kitchen and bathroom)
so I do need to create some space
for my miniature hobby and upcoming projects ;-) 

Here are some photos from the things I did...
 (click on the images to enlarge them)

I gave this small blue dresser a shabby white look!


This one I decided to be just plain white...


I also painted this bamboo cabinet white...
My Modern 'Lake View' Dollhouse will be placed on it later. 


And I have two dressers (each with 4 drawers) 
were I keep my material. 
But the drawers could not hold all that heavy stuff.
They were all bend in the middle! 
So I had to find a solution for them to fix that problem.
Here is what I did.

First I glued the bottom back into the drawers...


 I had to do this outside because of the little space I have in the house,
so it had to be good weather... (it is winter here too!  lol)

Then I glued some wooden pieces into it so it would be more sturdy.
These heavy bricks are holding them on their place 
while they were drying...


Oh yeah... 
I measured out the size of these organizers that I found at IKEA
before I glued the wooden pieces into it...


And see... 
Now I can put my material and stuff in it. 


There are two of these organizers on each side (stacked) 


Some of the drawers are just with the wooden pieces in the middle, 
which still makes it more easy to separate the things...


Still have to unpack and sort out a whole bunch of 
card boxes with all the material and miniatures
(I stashed everything in boxes while I was fixing these drawers), 
so I still will be busy for a while.
But it is inspiring too, it gives me lots of new ideas!! 

See you all soon!!

En nu weet ik wat ik moet doen als de laden van mijn kasten beginnen door te buigen ;-)
Wow! It was worth all the hard work just to get the drawers working. I envy the way you have all your materials organized.
The painted little furniture pieces look wonderful.

Wow,that has been a lot of work :D But it's worth it,right? :D
une bonne résolution de début 2012: ranger, trier..
Les petits meubles repeints sont beaucoup mieux ainsi!

how pretty a coat of paint makes everything look! I really love how the bamboo cabinet looks afterwards. You are so smart to fix your drawers like that- and now more organized too :)
I like your furniture in white; you are full of ideas, well you have to be when you live in a small place.

Something must be in the air, Jollie, because I have been sorting and organizing too! I recently donated tons of stuff and then organized the rest. Whew! Doesn't it feel better to have things organized and easy to find? Great job on your project--very inspiring! :-) Jennifer

Lekker he, als alles georganiseerd is?!
Kastjes zijn mooi geworden en ik denk dat het allemaal er een stuk rustiger uitziet.

Liefs Syl
