This dresser got moved to the guest room, so we will use it to hold bed linens. My partner made labels for it so we don’t grab the wrong sizes.
If the day after getting a label maker, every single thing in your home isn’t labeled: I’m pretty sure you’re doing it wrong.
2 days after mine arrived, I had more than 60 gridfinity boxes labeled, but nothing else.
Why isn’t everything in your home in a gridfinity box? The “finity” part implies it not only connects infinitely, but also the infinite possibilities of what they can contain. You can even make one big enough to live in! 😃
Found my 2026 project.
Now, I just used masking tape and sharpie, but for a dresser in a room where you want the labels but don’t want them visible, you can put them on the thin upper surface of the drawer-fronts. You only have to pull the drawer out an inch or so to read them. Also good if you don’t quite trust the dresser’s paint job.

Humph… I was kind of hoping for something more mysterious or unmentionable.
You have four different sizes of mattresses? That’s interesting, I’ve never been in a house with more than 2 sizes
Yup. We share a king bed, have a queen that will go in the guest room, eldest daughter has a full and youngest has twin bunk beds.
I hereby formally invite your partner to come over and organize my linen dresser. It’s in my office and everything is just jumbled in there.
I’ll be sure to pass that on.
What brand of dresser is that?
It’s an ikea HEMNES. I’ve had it a long time and it’s held up quite well, being actual wood. My youngest has a similar one in red with matching end table that was once in big sisters nursery and they have also held up well, except for being covered in stickers.
We have one too. It’s pretty nice and I like the safety feature that only lets you open one drawer at a time to avoid tipping.
Looks like it’s from IKEA.
Looks good!
I did this in our kitchen. No one else pays attention to it and I still can’t find shit. YMMV.
