Old drawers are not that plentiful in my small town.  We don't have a ReStore or salvage type store.   I find them at consignment and thrift shops mostly, and not often.

Here are 14 of my favorite drawer projects.

  1. That's a prayer plant in your drawer, not a spider plant. It folds it's "hands" at night like it is praying. Just thought you would like to know. Love your blog!!!

    1. Thanks Donna! I wasn't very clear on that. That's a photo from a few years ago when it had a prayer plant. Now I have a spider plant in it.
