too many Scavenger Posts from all the cities- how about more house tours, good local resources, good blog leads....etc.

While it looks good, I find it highly impractical for my life. I don't know what I could possible store in all those little drawers.

I just bought a Library card catalog version from Target, that holds CDs and DVDs.

I'd talked to a friend who also loves those card catalogs and we talked about things that could go in the drawers.

I've transferred most of the "office supply" type items I had in my old desk into the new chest thing. A drawer JUST for pencils. One for pens. One for notepads. One for the stapler and staples and paper clips. Etc.

I moved my CDs in there, both game and music. I moved some of my old cassettes into the drawers. I have coasters. My extra checks. Envelopes.

It would make for an ideal spot for girls/boys/teens to store there neat little collectibles and items. From Hot Wheels to Barbie clothes. Makeup, perfume, nail polish, hair barrettes, jewelry.

AWESOME for the craftsman, to have numerous drawers of screws, nuts, bolts, drill things.

Or for the crafter, seamstress...all the little things. Glue sticks. Buttons. Zippers. Threads. A quilter could organize their shapes by color, or organize by shapes, putting the little cut squares into the various compartments.
