Recycle, Redo, Reloved - 3 drawers chest

Recycle Redo Reloved the useless items are the thing that I always like to do.  If you are same as me, low budget (or no budget), lazy to throw the garbage away, always want to re-decoration your place, let me share my reloved projects with you.

I got this 3 drawer chest from IKEA 6 or 7 years ago, but I didn't really use it for almost more than 4 years.  Well, it still can be used, I could only pull out 1/3 drawer.  I know it's my fault, I put too much clothes inside, its way too heavy for the max load for the drawer.  So the drawer support rails were broken.  I was too lazy to fix it until this month.  

I tried to get the rails at IKEA, they said they don't support the rail partition itself, but I could get it with the whole drawer.  Really?!! If I get the drawer (min $20 each), I need to get 3 of them, that means I need to spend $60 for the 3 drawers, why don't I get the whole chest ($99).  Plus I need to throw away the garbage.  

What could I Redo it in the cheapest and easiest way?  Today, I finally took all the drawers out of the chest; I went to IKEA again, found a particleboard in the unpacked area.  (Remember they always have an area for some unpacked and refunded items?!)  The particleboard only costs $10.  I also took some free pins at the fees parts area.  (Usually beside the return and pick up area)


Make sure the pins are long enough to hold the board.  And I also got the pink paper boxes to keep my yarns tidy.  Ohhhh ... I only spend $25 for Redo.

How about the 3 drawers?  Don't throw them away, screwed the hangers out, and used them as a shelf.  There should have 3 drawers, but I only put 2 drawers on top of the chest, because I want to match the height with the shelving unit beside.  I put the 3rd drawer on top of the lower shelving unit.

Everything seems prefect now; use your imagination and creative ideas to Redo the useless items. Sometimes they might not be perfect, but at least try to Recycle it, Reloved it again!
