Do you have some old dresser drawers at home? Maybe you just want to create some unique storage bins or a creative garden. Well, in just a few steps you can add some life back into some old drawers and re-purpose them into something you will love and appreciate for years to come!
This project, while pretty easy, can get a bit lengthy, so be sure to head over to my blog to see the full tutorial with step-by-step pictures.
Step 1: Find some old drawers. We found these in the "free" pile on garage sale day
Step 2: Remove the hardware and sand the front
Step 3: Fill the holes with wood filler
Step 4: Get to creating! We used a spray paint on the inside and outside and then used a brush on the front along with different stencils.
I made a pepper garden in this one for the kids!
And how amazing is this one for pillow storage?
