Everyone that visits The Cottage Market regularly knows that I am crazy about upcycled drawer projects…I love them! There are so many of them and they never cease to amaze me. I simply can not get enough of them…so today’s Take 5 is shining the spotlight on Five Fabulous Upcycled Drawer DIY Projects.
You know what is so great about these upcycled drawer projects? They are all simple and just about anyone can make them. So remember what I always say…if you are driving down the street…whatever street that you are on and you see a stack of drawers…slow down…put the blinker on and turn very calmly into the next side road… turn yourself around and pick those babies up and put them in your car. Even if they are with a dresser that you can’t fit…don’t feel bad…the person that picks up the dresser can upcycle it with baskets…look at that way : ) Snatch drawers up where ever you can…there is always something brilliant that you can do with them!

Andrea,
How about an up-cycled drawer filled with mason jars!!!! I’m loving the one filled with vintage books — and your genius idea to put one in a nursery with nursery rhyme books!!
Have a fabulous day, my friend!

I have a stack of old drawers just waiting for a makeover. Genius ideas!! Xo
I love the cottage-chic drawers! The mildly distressed look is charming. Have you ever tried this with wooden wine crates? They give a chateau-chic accent to the cottage look. They also look great in a wine room or kitchen.
If your looking for original wooden wine crates for future projects visit Winepine.
