This dresser got moved to the guest room, so we will use it to hold bed linens. My partner made labels for it so we don’t grab the wrong sizes.

Now, I just used masking tape and sharpie, but for a dresser in a room where you want the labels but don’t want them visible, you can put them on the thin upper surface of the drawer-fronts. You only have to pull the drawer out an inch or so to read them. Also good if you don’t quite trust the dresser’s paint job.

Humph... I was kind of hoping for something more mysterious or unmentionable.

You have four different sizes of mattresses? That's interesting, I've never been in a house with more than 2 sizes

[-] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 3 days ago

Yup. We share a king bed, have a queen that will go in the guest room, eldest daughter has a full and youngest has twin bunk beds.

I hereby formally invite your partner to come over and organize my linen dresser. It's in my office and everything is just jumbled in there.

[-] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 3 days ago

I’ll be sure to pass that on.

What brand of dresser is that?

[-] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 days ago

It’s an ikea HEMNES. I’ve had it a long time and it’s held up quite well, being actual wood. My youngest has a similar one in red with matching end table that was once in big sisters nursery and they have also held up well, except for being covered in stickers.

We have one too. It's pretty nice and I like the safety feature that only lets you open one drawer at a time to avoid tipping.

[-] Badabinski@kbin.earth 5 points 3 days ago

Looks like it's from IKEA.

[-] BranBucket@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

Looks good!

I did this in our kitchen. No one else pays attention to it and I still can't find shit. YMMV.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
