How to Fix a Broken Drawer Slide / Glide with Scotch Tape

March 12, 2016

So this is a problem we seem to have weekly at our Reclaimed Karma workshop.  We find the most beautiful antique piece of furniture with so much history, but then when it comes to the construction of the piece the drawers seem to always be a problem!  It never fails…the curse of the broken drawer slide hits us again!

Whether the drawers have Side-Mounts…

Center-Mounts…

or Under-Mount glides…

They can always pose a problem when you are dealing with upcycling an old piece.  Lately, Chris and I seem to have the biggest problems with our antique pieces that normally are built with center-mount slides.  That is…until late the other night…when Chris stumbled upon a fool proof way to fix those pesky broken slides.  We decided to shot a quick youtube video breaking down how scotch tape has become our new best friend. 🙂

Hope our little discovery helps you as much as it’s helped us!

Creatively Yours….

Loving our Welcome Bench

February 1, 2015

I knew the hallway off our front door needed something, but couldn’t put my finger on what.  Chris came home one day with a truck load of furniture and near the bottom I found an old worn down storage chest.  It was an ugly chipped army green, and at first sight it just looked like a random piece of junk.  Then I started to think…

What if we stripped the paint off the chest, stained it a dark beautiful stain, maybe construct a cushion and cover it in burlap.  Wouldn’t that be fabulous!!

I was right.  It turned out perfectly.  I decided to add an antiqued metal detail to the front to just give it a little more uniqueness.

 

Topped it off with beautiful throw pillows…and “Wha lah”!
