Question from Krudman

Please advise if anyone is aware of a non-PVC shelf/drawer liner. Preferably, not fabric and non-toxic.

Thank you

Debra’s Answer

Before the days of PVC, everyone lined their shelves with just plain paper, and held it down with thumbtacks. I think they still sell paper shelf paper.

When I moved to San Francisco last month to stay here temporarily for three months, I moved into a barely furnished apartment that has a chest of drawers. I wanted a clean surface on which to put my clothes, and I had just purchased some items from Ikea that were wrapped in big sheets of white paper. So I just lined my drawers with that white paper and it worked fine.

Some years back, I lined some drawers with pretty handmade paper that comes in big sheets at art supply stores. It was nice to see something pretty when I opened the drawer.
