Put It In The Drawer

A myriad of recycle ideas for drawers and dressers

Furniture is easy to repurpose, in particular, dresser drawers and bureaus. They can have a variety of uses outside of your bedrooms as hutches, studio furniture, bars and closet cabinets. Here are some more unusual variations for bureaus that have missing drawers, drawers that have missing bureaus or otherwise.

The next time you get ready to toss Aunt Millie's old bureau these fun creations might make you think twice!

Interesting Idea from myrepurposedlife.com..you could pad the sides and the seat, too. I have seen benches made from a night table, twin bed headbords and cribs.

So simple! Go Shabby chic or paint it. A fun and romantic alternative to the usual window box. Would be great for a country home or summer place

Other ideas for drawers? try making a table by just adding a top and legs or a footstool by stuffing it, adding feet and covering in a vintage fabric.

Only you and your imagination is what is needed to dress up old dressers!
