If you missed out on the beginnings of my armoire redo, visit the {first} and {second} post.

The Dollar Tree usually has little white baskets, but because I was in need of them, they weren't there. I got what I needed at Walmart. I measured out the drawers and then took my measuring tape with me to make sure the baskets would fit in the drawers. (I usually keep a measuring tape in my purse. You never know when you might need one!) I also bought contact paper to line the drawers.
I didn't find what I wanted for my stickers, so I improvised. I had a box that fit perfectly in the drawer. I used contact paper to cover it, and now I have a little cubby to hold my stickers!
The bottom two drawers now hold what I want to use in my scrapbooks. They are still a mess, because I am very far behind!
The best thing I did with the drawers was running a candle over the bottom tracks. I can't remember where I learned this tip (some magazine), but it is amazing the difference it makes with the way the drawers slide in and out.
All I have left to do is install some shelves and put some cans on the door to hold more of the supplies. I'll keep you posted!
