Upcycled drawers

When we pick up a piece of furniture that can no longer be used "as is", we take it apart. There's usually several pieces that can be used for signs and other projects. I was starting to get quite a collection of drawers, and they were taking over my work space. It was time to come up with some ideas.

 

These were the first ones I painted........

 

After painting them, I added hangers to the back.

They can now be used either on the wall as shadowboxes or shelves, or on a table.

 

 

This one was from a desk, and it was already a pretty bluish/gray.

For something different, I turned it into a sign of sorts.

I left room at the bottom for some of those precious memories.

Perhaps a picture, or a treasure memento.

 

 

While I was at it, I did another one the same way.

These can either hang or sit.

 

 

For this one, I got out the chalkboard paint.

The whole thing is now a chalkboard.

Even the top and sides.

It too will either hang or sit.

 

I've got more to do something else with.

Might be time to go to Pinterest for inspiration!
