Several years ago I salvaged some oversized drawers from a linen closet in a home that I remodeled. These drawers have been moved around from room to room looking for an end use. They sat in my living room for the last several month and this weekend I finally tackled them. I added Ikea Capita legs to the back panel of each drawer and stood them on end. Both drawers had received a coat of a blue-grey paint and the interiors were left the original dark wood stain. One drawer is placed open end facing the living room and contains a bit of my book collection [and on trend I've placed the spines to the rear, possible in my opinion with this small collection]. The other drawer has it's bottom panel facing the living room and conceals my stereo and speakers. I drilled 1/2" holes where the speakers are located so the sound is not muffled [plus, I love the graphic of the holes]. Very happy with the end result.




Awesome!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic job you did! Simple but studding.

ReplyDeleteHi! I've just discovered your blog and had to tell you that I love with your style! I love what you've done with the drawers, but even more I love the collection on your gallery wall! I hope one day I too have a wall that looks as great as that!

What a great job! I'm over here from Design Sponge. Could we get a close-up of the sewing shadowbox? I'm obsessed! :)
ReplyDeleteVery cool!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful! I love the idea of the stereo speakers - what a great way to use the drawers for different purposes!
ReplyDeleteI made the opening with an old wire hanger - large enough to put a bulb through. THen I took some grosgrain ribbon and stitched it to the wire circle. It's makes a nice finished look! Thanks for this DIY - love it!
