Normally I'd be all OMG DONT PAINT THAT WOOD!, but it's for a little boy's room, and I don't think that's exactly little boy style! Anyway, Marisa covered the tracks. Since you're painting it anyway, I'd suggest removing the existing handles, filling their holes with wood-putty, and installing handles in the center of the drawers. Otherwise this looks like an awfully big dresser for Little G to reach across and grab both handles (when he gets old enough to fish out his own clothes). Heck, I'd probably relocate the handles on it even just for me--just because it seems like it would open easier with handles in the middle.<br /><br />Happy birthday!! Sorry about your pizza blooper; the caramelized onion pizza sounds amazing. That's one of my favorite pizza toppings lately and I rarely get it.

Steve and I scoured CL in our Boston days for that style furniture, we still have a credenza and hutch that we use as a bar. A girlfriend and I wrestled both pieces into my Element while the two women selling it mocked us (they posted the WRONG measurements, I take little blame). Happy happy belated birthday to you!Suburban Snapshotshttp://suburbansnapshots.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216419.post-1310976788148167912011-06-27T16:33:23.483-04:002011-06-27T16:33:23.483-04:00Happy Birthday!!!

Try soap first and see if they just need a little smoothness.<br /><br />BUT... if that doesn't work, you can replace them, either with metal tracks in the exact same place (be careful to check depth dimensions lest the drawer then not fit) or along the sides. <br /><br />Certainly the first option is easier. <br /><br />Happy Birthday!Marisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15267932359074995795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19216419.post-11883847981366857102011-06-27T10:14:23.558-04:002011-06-27T10:14:23.558-04:00That dresser is gorgeous!!
