DIY Ladder Shelf From Old Drawers

Do you ever hang on to things knowing you will eventually use them, but it sometimes takes a LONG time for eventually to get there? Well, I finally reached that point and dug these old crib dresser drawers out of the closet. I decided to turn them into a Ladder Shelf for organizing crafts, paints, etc.
I started with 3 drawers, some 1x2's, a drill and wood screws. I used a miter box and saw to shorten the drawers so they would be staggered like a traditional ladder shelf.
Then I used the 1x2's on each side, screwed them in to make a brace and legs.
Enjoyed the project?
