How can I find a small linen cabinet for bedroom?
by
Sally Alter
I have a decent size bedroom in my manufactured home with a Queen size bed, chaise long, and a modern wood chest of drawers on one side of the bed. This leaves quite a bit of room on the other side of the bed, enough for a cabinet. I thought I might use it as a linen cabinet. (I don't have a lot of linen, and also have room for some in the walk-in closet so it wouldn't need to be large).
Any ideas where I could find something like this that is not extortionately expensive? I have looked in various thrift stores but it is only by chance that you can find anything to suit.

Ikea has pieces that may work for you. Antique stores frequently have old cabinets as very reasonable prices. Have you checked Habitat for Humanity resale shops, Salvation army stores?
Hi Sally! You could build one if you are handy, since it would be a tall box with shelves. You could buy or build a cubby and keep things in bins. I've seen some cute storage units online, like this one:

Hi, thanks Oliva, I have tried a few antique shops and thrift stores - no luck so far but I will keep looking. I didn't think about IKEA though, so thanks for that idea. I shall go on line and see what I can find.
