From Chippy Drawer Repuposed for Unique Art Frame

Here's a little story about how a chippy, salvaged drawer got a new life as a frame for a treasured painting...
I am always trying to think "outside the frame" at my house...
My Mother-In-Law is a talented water color artist.
I happened to have this chippy aqua and white drawer on hand. I bought a pre-cut piece of plexi-glass from the hardware store.
I decided a yardstick would be the perfect "fix"...and when we were visiting Florida last week I found the perfect one!
YEP :)
We just cut it to cover and hold the bottom of the picture/plexi-glass. Next we drilled little holes and secured them with upholstery tacks.
Two more tacks at the top to hold the glass in place.
This perfectly chippy drawer is kinda "dreamy" don't you think?
Now I just have to decide where to hang it.
Enjoyed the project?
