I wait every year for the closet organizers system to go on sale and then I purchase it. Now all our closets have organizers, but we no longer need dressers for each room. It's great, but I didn't want to get rid of the dresser. So, I had this idea of turning it into and outdoor buffet that could move and roll around - I have big dreams and my hubby is usually skeptical!
Well, I painted the old dresser. My husband attached a plywood piece on the bottom and some wheels. Then, we put door pulls on both ends so it was easy to move around. Let me tell you, our deck gets a lot of action when we have people over and having this outdoor, rolling buffet has helped keep all our extras and necessary items very handy.
