headboard/drawer flower box
Comments (14)LOL! I love the broken chair "cat holder" but honestly... what ISN'T a cat holder? :) My whole house and everything in it is a cat holder. But back to the garden junk... I have a couple old drawers that I've used for planters too, they were used in the basement workshop area by the previous owner of the house. I needed a planter and used what was available! Now I want to paint them though, I put them out nekkid. Amy...See MoreConverting desk drawer for keyboard
Comments (5)It will depend on the construction of the drawer itself. basically, replace the drawer box w/ a new one, but put it in upside down. Re-attach the decorative front. In some cases, the decorative front is an integral part of the drawer box, and you'll need to cut it away; in those cases, the new drawer box should be a little bit shorter, back-to-front, than the old drawer box so the front can still be flush w/ the desk. you might want to try to get a drawer box that doesn't have an inset bottom (basically, four sides, then nail a sheet of masonite across them to make the bottom), though that slight inset would sure keep the keyboard from falling off. Be sure to ask this over at the Woodworking forum!

Comments (1)There's thousands of them thar slides about. The pdf below shows a center mount replacement from rockler - you have the all wood version of these, but this is a ball bearing slide that goes in the cabinet in practically the same way. There are also side mounts and double undermounts - either of which can also use a bracket mounted on the back of the cabinet. hth (the pdf has a drawing of the slide and the bracket) Look for face frame slides and their brackets.

Comments (14)Your Blum push to open should have these tabs at each side of the cabinet see how that sticks out a bit? That is so you can ”push” to open. When you push the tab retracts, your trash holder hits a lever in the back of your cabinet and that lever pushes your trash holder open. Voila! Like magic! Your door should sit proud of adjacent cabs by 1/4”. Please check your tabs. It looks like you are missing the one on the right. and call your local rev-a-shelf dealer for help. They were very helpful to us when we purchased and installed ours. Good luck! My cabinet: Looks like more than 1/4”. However, I measured for accuracy....See MoreValerie DeVries
