My dresser was once a thing of pride. It was a beautiful, dark—almost black— piece of furniture that really made my day every time I walked by it and caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of my eye. Okay, it really never made my day, but it was something that I was proud of. My dresser was the first thing I bought when I graduated from college: it represented a new chapter in my life. Over the years, unfortunately, the dresser had slowly become a haven for everything and anything: receipts, pocket change, books, magazines, cordless phone. And the few spots that peeked through all that mess had also become stained and scratched. Clearly, I needed to figure out a way to stop the clutter from accumulating, to find a solution to my dresser problem that would also ensure that nothing else could ruin the wood. Something pretty wouldn't hurt either. It was then that the idea of a dresser runner came to me. Think table runner, only sized to suit your dresser, and with one handy additional feature: pockets on the sides, to serve the dual purpose of looking cute and providing a place to stash stuff. The only problem: I can't sew. Luckily, I remembered reading about no-sew tape in the Lazy Decorator's Bag Of Tricks. Now there was nothing that could stop me from making this runner! what you'll
