I love my Durham Furniture in the Royal Cottage white sand finish but I wish I bought two Junior Chests to put side by side rather than the double dresser. The bottom two drawers are so deep and high that they really are only good for sheets and blankets. This leaves me hardly any drawer space. The chest of drawers is the best and even two of them would have given me more drawer space. It is only 36" wide, 52" tall and 18" deep but so much better than that double dresser in storage.

I tried putting storage boxes under my bed but most of the containers bothered my allergies with outgassing. I really would like a place to put all my socks since I wear a lot and wear two to bed. I like the skinny drawer idea for separating colors and type of sock.

My bedroom has a little hallway in between two walls where within the hallway is two tiny walk-in closets that I had to take the doors off of so one big door would not shut off the other side. I have my business suits and clothes in one and my jeans and tops and bathrobes in the other.
So when you walk in the room, the wall on the right is split in the middle with the hallway. One one side of the split next to the wall is the Chest of Drawers. The other wall currently has white plastic drawers that look awful and I want to replace it with furniture that will blend with what I have.

I have a lot of sweaters and now I wish I did not buy so many. I also have a lot of summer pajamas since I am going through the change and need to change the pair sometimes twice a night. My nightstand is a Wesley Allen Metal 18" round table with no drawers to allow space for the Chest of Drawers facing my bed.

There is a wall next to my open door that is 23.5" wide and I am always putting a plastic set of drawers there that looks awful but I need something there anyway to put the humidifier on in the winter time. Hence, the idea for a Lingerie chest of drawers.

Now I am wondering if I can live with the less costly and less stylish piece that is shorter at 49.5" tall and only 19" wide and 17" deep that has 5 drawers. I love the way the cottage Lingerie chest looks but it is tall at 58.5" and I can't use the top drawer without stopping on a step stool since I am not quite 5 feet tall. Or maybe the 29.5" high night stand that has three drawers that is 21.5 wide and 17" deep would look OK there or will it look funny since it is a nightstand?

I know... I need to take pictures. My new computer would not let me install the Sony Software that is outdated. I need to call Sony up. I can always turn on my old computer (kept crashing my tax software) that I have not used to download pictures and then save them to a flash drive to install on my new PC. Maybe that is what I should do.

I will try to take some pictures. I need to figure out how to install my camera on my new 64-bit computer.

Thanks for replying. I just really want more drawer space from a nice piece of furniture that will not outgas causing me allergies as I sleep.

When I chose the Wesley Allen Iron Table next to my bed, it was because I was buying Stanley Furniture that had a wider and deeper as well as taller chest of drawers. I had to return the furniture three years ago due to mismatching and so much damage. I settled on the Durham that I loved except for the bottom two drawers on the double dresser.

I wonder if I can now place a night stand there and in that space next to the door another one to get the drawer space I need? I will try to take some pictures tomorrow if I am able to.

Those bottom two drawers sound perfect for storage of socks and sweaters. The sox could be in shallow baskets that stack two high in the drawers. The sweaters simply fold and stack, perhaps separated by color.

Sheets and blankets can go in plastic drawers in the closet, or on closet shelves. I wouldnt waste precious dresser space on those.

I think you will find that lingerie chests are not very storage friendly. They tend to have a lot of shallow, small drawers that are meant for a few pair of underwear or a couple of bras.

Thank you Les for the suggestions which sounds like that would help me with my clothing storage. I also pulled out my Durham Purchase File since the set is discontinued so would need my folder to find out the dimensions for the night stand if the set was not discontinued and I could buy it now. It was too wide at 28" wide and is still too wide for that space.

Now I am thinking of buying the 29" high night stand with three drawers that is unfinished since it is only 21.5" wide and 17" deep and having it painted BM Simply White to give me three extra drawers and applying your ideas to give me the space I need. I can then use the metal table on that small space to put the humidifier on in the winter time.

I am just amazed at the price of the tiny night stand so now I am going to find out if they have a cheaper style that is 29" high.

Thank you!
