Supreme Organization With Tansu


We had never heard of Tansu until yesterday but we're all ears now. Apparently, it's the Japanese term used to describe these amazing dressers. Intricate and hand-crafted (if you can find them) are inspiring--not to mention a Professional Organizers dream...

 
 

Tansu dressers are known for having lots of drawers and by the look of these, elaborate configurations. Alternating in drawer sizes, they're perfect for storing small objects and accessories. We'd use a Tansu to store crafts and office supplies or in a large bathroom for hand towels and beauty products. Their antique wood quality and appearance make these sturdy dressers quite impressive. And while an antique or replicate Tansu can set you back big bucks, we can bet you'll have this furniture piece for a lifetime.

One from Green Tea Design (small step) will be my next furniture purchase I think. They make great kitchens too.
