A New Use for Antique Drawers

When I came across a dresser that was falling apart, I decide to save the drawers and turn them into something useful! Who knew old drawers could be beautiful all on their own?

    Sharon H, these would look great attached to a wall as storage shelves. Brackets under them would support them if they were larger. Hummm now I also see the posibility of old suitcases as well.

    This would be a great place to store those big fluffy throws when you are not using them during the winter.....mine often just land in a pile next to my chair.

    Joan A we have one for our little "Dorkie" dog. She fits in it perfect! :)

    Jan B... great idea!! My husband thinks we should use one for all the throw pillows from the bed!

    I was given some very nice drawers and turned them into storage for my rubber stamps by hot gluing foam board shelves and dividers/supports inside here and there among the shelves. They sit on end on my craft table against the wall. Thanks Elleen F! Drawers also make great under bed storage and garage wall shelves.

    They look lovely, so please pardon me for asking, but what are they? Pillow storage?

    Hmmm I have a huge drawer in my shed and I got 4 little feet at a garage sale last summer (who knows why, I'm such a hoarder!!!) - this would be awesome in the bedroom to throw all those extra pillows in when I go to bed. Thanks for the great idea :)

    Wouldn't it be great to put a brace around the bottom of these (sort of like a small platform) and add rollers. Then out of season shoes could be rolled under the bed and out of the way. Or store things like wrapping paper that we can never find a place for. My sister's family is grown so she has now has lots of space for her things. She put storage tubs with all her warpping paper, bows, bags, etc under the guest room bed. She said she had gotten tired of going to get a gift bag only to ...»
    find it crumpled where something had been pushed against it.

    Found the drawers you were speaking of. Yes, great idea. I now need to be shopping for legs, if I want them to be stand alone. The pillows are adorable.

    This is such a great idea...and relatively simple! I pass up old dressers at the thrift stores all the time...now I will look at the drawers in a whole new way! Love it!
