Re-purposed Sewing Machine Drawer

Carole
by Carole
I had two cheap laminate wooden drawers from an old Singer treadle sewing machine. I used one in the W.C. as a holder for glass jars. I wanted to put a single flower in each jar. The fake tulips shown here are just to give an idea. They are too long stemmed for the jars so I will be putting something in with shorter stems but you get the idea. The other drawer will likely be used to hold my garden seed packets. The frame was re-purposed in a previous post as a succulent tray holder for the garden.

      @Charlda W Don't forget there are many different ways to hang them. You can put the bottom of the drawer against the wall and hang it lengthwise and put a single small bottle and one bloom in it or hang something pretty from a hook or cotton reel inside the box - sort of use it more like a frame as well as use it as a sort of drawer to put things inside. Above all have fun. Would love to see what you come up with! Could make a feature wall of them all hung in different direction with different objects in them too. I am currently painting one up to put a glass jar for cutlery and our salt and pepper grinders in and I will keep it on the dining table. Could also use for vinegars and salad dressings. So many ways to use these things!

      @Carole Gosh I wish I lived closer to you to see all your creative project. Thank you so very much for all the ideas. My neighbor has a few drawers. I only have the one and I am going to see if she will give me a couple because I love the Salt and Pepper Idea and I can also see napkins being put in there as well. Thanks so much for sharing and please keep sharing!
