  Pam, thanks so much. I got some great ideas from the first Pinterest link. I think I will paint the sides, back and do one of the cute paper ideas on the drawers. If it comes out good, will post it.

We actually have three and use them as the base for our desk.

  Thanks for your input. It's a 4 drawer, so a desk won't work. But, I did see some great desks made from them, on Pinterest.

  You're right! It looks wonderful. You did a very professional job on it. Your tutorial was easy to follow and well written. HOWEVER, it wouldn't fit in with my décor. I'm sorry about that!! Thanks for posting tho!
