Drop Your Drawers

...or pick them up to make a few fun things.  I made these two projects at my job at the Antique Barn.  Sorry, these are quick photos I took, they aren't staged all cute.  I started with 2 fabulous older, solid drawers.  I sanded then some, to get some of the crusty stuff off, but tried to leave some of the crackle finish that was oh so drool worthy.  I painted 1 yellow and one white.

To the yellow one I added legs painted grey.  I first glued the legs to make attaching them easier.  When the glue was good and dry, I used 2 long screws through the drawer bottom to secure them.  I then made a barnwood top that I brushed some yellow and grey on.  I added two boards to the inside lid to keep the lids secure and so they don't slide around.  Sanded and stained everything and ended up with a great little side table with storage, perfect size for next to a couch.

I added a barnwood top to this one too and a rusty handle and casters.  I could see this under a coffee table, great storage piece.
