Stuff happens when you're doing so many things at one go. I accidentally snapped the drawer bottom into half. It felt like my heartbeat dropped for a moment as I stared at the broken piece in tiny panic. The feeling washed over; I'm planing to tape it up and am keeping my fingers crossed that it can at least hold up lingerie.
What do you think? Can she-hulk, that's me, save this?

It was part of a 3-drawer cabinet that I had purchased from IKEA many years ago.

The Daiso vacuum seal bags are proving very useful. I have not vacuumed these items flat yet since I have more bags to fill. It's taking me a lot of time because my small washing machine can only handle so much abuse and the drying area? Fits two comforters, max! Besides that, pillows and soft toys take at least 3 days to dry.
Guess how many pillows are packed here in the picture below? ..At least 6 sleeping pillows, 10 cushion pillows, 4 bolster pillows. Then, I've got comforters, bedspreads and a sofa cover too. That leaves 10 blankets and a bag full of bedsheets still to pack.
You must be wondering why I have so many bedding items. In addition, I have three sofa beds and 2 mattresses. I get a lot of visitors staying over. Taking people jalan-jalan (sight-seeing) is an activity I love.

It looks like it'll be sometime before I start with the wall-painting but that's okay. I'm in no rush.
You are sure strong to be able to snap your drawer into half. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI love vacuum bags too. Have few; keeping my winter clothings. Haha. Good to keep those bedding stuff in the bags as reduce dust and mildew.
Itulahh ..must be all the heavy lifting I've been doing with boxes of stuff that I'm cleaning out. ;)
DeleteHi Sharon, so sorry to hear about your drawer, but accidents happen, so please don't be hard on yourself. I would do what you said you were going to do...tape it and use it for lingerie, bras, underwear, etc.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Linda. You are a dear. xx
DeleteGreat idea to use vacuum bags to store bedding stuffs like blankets, pillows and bed sheets. I should be getting these vacuum bags soon. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Nancy. I like that it's transparent too - makes it easier to find things.
Deleteaiyo, betul2 jadi hulk la you :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can buy the 'wood-cardboard' piece to replace the bottom, can be done I think.
Yes! Great minds think alike. I was thinking of asking IKEA if they sell just the board ..nanti sia tanya
DeleteMaybe it's a good time to change the furniture? ;)
ReplyDelete..plus I'm thinking of getting new shelves in addition ;)
DeleteMust have been very tiring.
