Dresser Drawer Repurpose!






I saw this wonderful repurposed drawer over at Cottage Charm and Family Inspiration and knew I had the perfect drawer to copy with. Doesn't it look awesome, especially with those beautiful glass knobs. Thank you Clara and Marcela!!










Here is my version...



I love it. I used ABC stickers, primed them and the drawer and spray painted it with Rustoleum Heirloom White. I covered the inside with scrapbooking paper.

This will eventually end up in my son's room because of the alphabet stickers but for now I want to enjoy it! Hope this inspires you as well!

PS I saw the stickers idea on a post where they were placed on a mudroom chair. If anyone knows about that post please let me know and I'll link it to this one. Thank you!

Thursdays are DIY days over at Kimba's. Check it out!

  4. Thanks for stopping by This Souhthern Girls Nest and leaving a comment.

    To answer your question, I didn't sand the dresser, however I did have to sand the top portion because I had to fill in some spaces that had been notched out, etc. I did apply to coats of primer though.

  12. Your drawer is great, and love the chair plant stand. I especially like your little clock that you found. I am off to a sale today and it says vintage stuff. I sure hope so. I have enjoyed looking over your older posts. Come visit again sometime. Jackie
