lining dresser drawers?

Manda-Kay · June 2012

My MIL mentioned I needed to line LO's dresser drawers with something, especially since they are brand new. I was wondering if anyone else did this, if it was necessary, and what you used to line them with. Thanks!

My TJ Maxx often has drawer liners. They are scented so I don't know if that would be bad for a baby? If you're thinking decorative this is cute

My dresser is old so I cleaned the drawers out but I figure that's good enough. I think you can do the liners but they're probably unnecessary.

I think its a personal choice. do you line your drawers? Im not doing mine nor any of my kids nor my baby's

I wouldnt line it. But that's my opinion. I just cleaned the drawers with bleach and water and called it a day.

I just used some tissue paper from the baby shower. I don't know if it's really needed? I'm crazy and save all the bags and tissue to reuse so I had a lot laying around.

We repurposed an old dresser (repainted, replace knobs) that we had that had been used by DH as a kid and that we'd been storing linens in. I ended up lining the drawers with simple Contact paper in white because that's the best solution I could find at Target and I had an itch/urge to put everything away in the drawers THAT NIGHT (could this be nesting???). It was super easy, definitely not as cool and decorative as it could have been, but I was determined to finish the project immediately!

I am using an old dresser that I'm staining. So I plan on putting lining on the bottom of the drawers, but on the new drawers for the other set I won't.

Now I am super jealous. I love that blog! I wish I'd had the forethought/patience to do something like this!

I found some cute liners at Buy Buy Baby and they are scented, they made the whole nursery smell like a sweet baby girl... love them!

Thanks everyone! I found some cheap drawer liner at The Container Store that I am going to try.
