A Fix for Busted Drawers
I am a junker, picker and treasure hunters. Sometimes I find treasures that are not in the best shape. In the fall, I came across a beautiful dresser with broken drawers. They were beyond repair. I could have removed them and made a bookshelf but I needed something that closed. My husband and I came up with a great idea. Hinges! Please see my blog post for more information.

I finally had time to paint a piece of furniture for myself!
We built wood bottoms for the base of each compartment. We then hinged the drawer fronts.
The first one was tricky to maneuver into the right position. It was smooth sailing once we figured out a system. We also added magnetic closures to the inside of the cabinets. They matched up with the metal lock feature on the drawers

Have a question about this project?
Love the idea!! Quick question, what type of paint and process did you use to achieve your goal??
How the heck did you attach the hinge? I have a similar project and I don't want to cut the dovetails or have hinge showing from the outside
