Ignore the kind of cutesy, crafty look of this project to see it for what it really is: a way to add some modern storage space in your place by reusing old drawers! You know how much we love reusing items to create new items! By taking some drawers from an unwanted, damaged or old dresser or chest, you can transform them into a shelving unit that is not only functional, but pretty unique, too. In this project found on Country Living’s website, they painted the drawers a bright green and added a cute wallpaper on the inside. You could just as easily paint all the shelves a bright, glossy modern red or white to create an oddly-shaped and interesting piece for an entry way, living room bedroom or even bathroom.
How would you adapt this project for your modern needs? Could you see this in your home? Let us know!
