I've seen drawers made into planters, bookcases, and pet beds.

Extra drawers make great under-the-bed storage. Just add 4 castors and they should roll under your bed no problem. P.S. even if you already have stuff under your bed, you could roll them under other beds in your house or even under your sofa.

Hi Jennifer,

Make shelves by hanging them on the wall

Hi Jennifer! I LOVE stenciling the inside of vanity drawers painting them on the outside and using them as a shelf on the wall! They are perfect size to hold picture frames!

Hello. I would build bookshelf type frame to use with the drawers and use it for storage. Depending on the depth that could be used for shoes, cleaning supplies, or craft items. Hope this helps

Hi ! You can hang them on the wall to be used as a shelf . You can put short stubby legs ( found at Lowe's or home depot ) on the bottom and a nice , soft pillow inside the drawer to make a nice pet bed !

Hi ! I answered earlier...I didn't see all the pictures that you posted , just the first one , and I didn't see the size & shape correctly . Now that I have , I think they would be great for storing spices !!! Just put the name of the spice on the lid !

Here are a bunch of ideas for repurposed drawers from Homeroad https://www.homeroad.net/search?q=repurposed+drawers

I've seen my neighbor put a piece of sheeting over the drawer opening with a hole cut out for a bird. He hung it outside from the handle, it made for a quirky but functional birdhouse. You can look up online the hole sizes for your cutting measurements depending on what species of bird you'd like to nest there.

If you have a couple thatt are excactly the same size you can place them back to back and use an end table. A few small shelves added into them woiuld make a little storage area for incidentals like TV remote, a book or two, etc.

I had 2 that I recycled from my kitchen remodel. I painted the inside with a contrasting color and the outside white. Placed a board over top of both drawers leaving a gap. Placed a shelf at bottom just between the 2 drawers. I made the space big enough for toilet paper and also put shelves inside drawer for storage.
