9 Ways to Reuse Old Bureaus Submitted by: Tip Hero ?05/12/2011 12:09 PM ? Used bureaus (chests of drawers) are easy to find in the furniture section of Craigslist, at yard sales or garage sales and at flea markets or thrift stores. If you find an especially good deal, there are several uses you can put one of these to. Take a look at some great ideas from Money Crashers: Hallway Linen Closet: don't have adequate room for linen storage in your home? Choose a good sized bureau that best fits your needs and fill it with hand towels, wash cloths, extra sheets and bath towels. Then you can decorate however you'd like. Room Divider: if you have an open-concept home layout where all the rooms flow together, use a bureau as a room divider to define your spaces. The divider will also help you organize clutter like DVDs and CDs. Craft Cabinet: if you don't have a whole room dedicated to crafts, you can use a small chest placed along a wall in the family room as a craft cabinet. Organize your materials so that they are easy to reach and find. You should be able to store many different types of project supplies in your small bureau. Changing Table: use a bureau that's an appropriate height as a changing table. Just put a changing pad on the top and you're all set! Store diapering supplies in the top drawer and when your baby is older, you'll have a place to store clothing and toys. Here's the final word from Money Crashers on the subject: The key to success with reusing an old bureau is choosing the right style. Look past the beat up finish to the basic form of the piece. Is it the right size and shape? Will it meet your storage and decorating needs? If you see a clunky, beat-up piece of ugly junk at the thrift store or pawn shop and can't envision it working for you, then it's best to pass on it completely. On the other hand, if you're absolutely desperate for storage and the price is right, you can always put it in the basement or garage.
