Upcycled Drawer Work Station

I have a hard time saying no when someone wants to give me something. So, when an acquaintance asked if I wanted an old, blonde, dresser with a mirror I said yes. This thing was beastly heavy, but I thought I might use it as a vanity in my bathroom. However, it sat and I decided to go a different route for a vanity. During a purge I decided to save the drawers and dump the rest. 

I repurposed two of the larger drawers to make a work station.

I have made these before, but I am always happy with the results and pleased with how versatile these are.

I painted the drawers red, yellow, green, and aqua. I sanded them a bit. After painting I added legs--1" x 4"s. I made a top from pallet wood, cutting the curve with a jigsaw and then attached it with hinges. I stained all of it and finished it with a clear coat.

This makes a fun bar station--storage for towels, glasses, wine bottle openers, etc. inside the top drawer. 

The bottom drawer is perfect for bottles, an ice bucket when not in use.

These upcycled drawers make a great office work station. I made it counter height and it is a perfect place to stand and work (or sit on a stool).

Books, files can be kept in the bottom drawer and office supplies in the top drawer.

Use it in an entryway or mudroom. 

Boots and shoes in the bottom, 

mittens and scarves in the top drawer and keep mail and keys on the top.

This piece would work great in a kitchen--keep a mixer, pressure cooker, air fryer, blender in the bottom. Store towels, cookbooks, extra serving bowls in the top. 

Or how about utilizing the work station for crafts--fabric, supplies in the top, sewing machine, etc. in the bottom with a perfect place to craft on the tabletop.

What ideas do you have for a piece like this?
