DIY Card Catalog / Apothecary from RAST for $75 By: Chris

DIY Card Catalog


Materials: RAST dresser


Shirley is very nostalgic for library card catalogs so we decided to make a card catalog. We settled on using a RAST dresser because of its hackability.


We added the following items to the basic RAST:

1) plywood faux drawer fronts

2) thin (3/4″) screen moulding to simulate a face frame cabinet look for the card catalog

3) label handle/hardware and knobs

4) stain and sealer

The plywood drawer fronts and screen moulding were glued onto the RAST drawers and clamped. See pictures 2 and 3 for their arrangement.


We were pleased to complete the project for about $75 (or $40 in addition to the RAST dresser).


Please check out the full details of the hack on our blog.
