DIY Dresser Upcycle & Decor Storage Overhaul | Home Project Vlog
This week’s video is a casual home project vlog with a satisfying mix of DIY and organization! I’ve had this dresser for years, but the drawers were basically unusable—sticking, sagging, and just not functional. So I finally decided to take it apart, rebuild the drawers from scratch (reusing the original faces), and add drawer slides for a smoother glide. It worked out almost perfectly… except one side of each drawer sits a little deeper than the other. 😅
I also tackled a long-overdue decor storage project. Last fall, I built cabinets specifically for housing all my home decor, but the initial organization was rushed. So in today’s video, I reorganize everything—maximizing the space and creating room for some future antique finds (hint: I’m heading down South next week for a travel vlog + antique haul!).
Let me know in the comments:
— Do you have any furniture you’ve been wanting to upcycle?
— Any tips on how I can fix the uneven drawer faces?
Thanks for spending a little time with me today. 💛
Wishing you all my best,
Cory
