In our small house, room for storage is hard to come by. One way we've attempted to combat this is by reducing the amount of junk we own, and that has helped prevent clutter pretty well. Another way is to keep our eyes peeled for better storage systems or other more efficient household items, and one of the best places we've found for this is the Goodwill, followed closely by Craigslist and Freecycle. This little gem was waiting for us at the Goodwill a few weeks ago.
It's in good condition, but desperately needs some minor cleaning, a new coat of paint and possibly some different drawer pulls. We haven't entirely decided on the top surface, but the wood grain Formica is probably on the outs. The drawer slides are severely worn and the floor of the lower storage area is sagging significantly. Once it's all spiffed up, it'll go in the dining room as a sideboard. Stay tuned for project updates!
