As beautiful as it is practical, this elegant lingerie chest will look great in almost any decor. Its clean lines, maple finish, sturdy construction and simplicity of design ensure its endurance as a family heirloom.

On the practical side, the chest features seven large drawers designed for lingerie, fine knits and other delicate articles of clothing, and the generously sized top is perfect for fresh flowers or photographs.

But perhaps the best part is that it’s so easy to build. The project requires only straight cuts, and step-by-step instructions and detailed diagrams simplify building the cabinet and aligning the drawers.

Construction is a simple matter of careful measuring and cutting, assembling the pieces with nails and glue, finishing the chest and installing the hardware.

When complete, the lingerie chest measures about 27 inches wide by 17 inches deep by 59 inches tall.

The Lingerie Chest plan, No. 874, is $8.95 and includes complete step-by-step directions with 13 photos, isometric drawings, detailed construction diagrams and a shopping list and cutting layout.

A package of three classic bedroom furniture plans, No. C90, is $18.95 and includes an armoire-style linen closet, a combination blanket chest and seat and a quilt rack.

A catalog picturing hundreds of do-it-yourself projects is $3.95. Prices include postage and handling. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery (for rush delivery, add $1 per item up to $3 maximum and allow about one week).
