We hadn't purchased anything to cut out the holes for the back of the dresser, in order to be able to pull the cords through.
Long story short..... we were done with all the sanding, priming, painting and top poly coat, and realized we still had to drill the holes. Ooops!!
We went out to our local Home Depot and purchased a 1 1/2 inch spade bit to drill the holes in the backside.
First, we measured halfway between each section, to be sure it was centered, then measured up one inch, so it was close to the bottom and would have a less chance of being seen.
Next, we taped the wood around where we planned on drilling, so we would have a less chance of splitting the wood.
Then we drilled holes from the inside out. That way, if the wood happened to split or tear, we wouldn't harm the inside "pretty" pieces that we worked so hard to paint.
Once we were done drilling, we just vaccuumed out the dust and wa-lah, DONEZO.
