How to Replace Old Felt in a Silverware Drawer or any drawer with felt…

These old buffets don’t show up around here very often.  And rarely in great shape.  I’m kind of going backwards in my post about this one.  I have never actually shown you the before.  I just wanted to share a couple photos of the after,  so you’ll know how to take care of those dirty old silverware drawer liners.
