Ten Uses For Your Cedar Chest
Cedar chests are great furniture pieces to have in any style home because they are both beautiful and useful. They can be used in the bedroom, guest room, kitchen, dining room, living room, foyer, or anywhere in the home where you might need a little extra storage space or a nice place to sit. Consider some of these ideas for incorporating and using a cedar chest in your home.
1. Most people use their cedar chest in the bedroom at the foot of the bed to place extra blankets, pillows, or comforters inside. Cedar wood naturally keeps moths away, so your linens will be well protected while being stored.
2. Cedar chests are the perfect place to keep your winter sweaters safe from moths during warmer months. If you have room, place your cedar chest in the closet for a place to sit down while dressing in the morning.
3. Keep extra towels in your cedar chest in or near your guest room or bathroom for easy access while guests are visiting.
4. Store all of your loose photographs and albums in a cedar chest for safe keeping.
5. Place a cedar chest beneath a bay window and put a cushion on top of it for a nice place to sit while having your coffee or for the cat to take a nap on.
6. A cedar chest in the kitchen is a great place to store those bulky and rarely use items, such as platters, large mixing bowls, or the blender.
7. Keep a cedar chest near your entertainment center and use it to store movies, games, or messy gaming units.
8. Many of us still can’t part with our old record albums, so keep them in a cedar chest along with an old record player for when you’re feeling melancholy.
9. A cedar chest in the kids’ playroom is a great way to keep toys and games organized down at a child’s level for easy access.
10. Your cedar chest is the perfect place to keep your crafts organized and in one place, such as knitting yarns, sewing fabrics, or jewelry making beads.
