Learn how to turn those inexpensive plastic storage drawers into beautiful pieces of home decor with just a few coats of spray paint!

I have a confession to make. I am jealous. SO jealous. One of my guilty pleasures is peeping in to the studios of other crafters around the world through Pinterest, Facebook posts, blogs and video studio tours - and I am JEALOUS when I see people with custom built-ins, or studios that have been curated for years and are filled gorgeous antique pieces that are just perfect...because when you move every two years or so like we do it just isn't possible. Plastic drawers have always been my storage of "choice" because they are inexpensive and easily movable, but I've always dreamed of more. Enter Valspar Primer for Plastic!

Simply remove the plastic drawers (I used three sets) and spray one coat of Valspar Primer. Then let your plastic drawers dry for 30 minutes.

Once the primer has dried, grab your paint color of choice and spray the plastic drawers. We used Rust-Oleum 2x Ultra Cover Gloss in Seaside and did two coats - letting dry about 30 minutes between coats.

And voila! With just a few coats of colorful spray paint, you can turn those inexpensive plastic storage drawers into some beautiful home decor pieces!


Now, if you are wondering about the table top portion of the plastic drawers, that was SUPER easy to construct as well. If you want to learn more about the table top portion of this project, make sure you stop by the blog to get more details.

    Wonderful idea.thank you so much for sharing! Have only one question "where to find the six drawer storage cabinet"? I have the deep drawers with only 3 in these ones. Thank you.
