I had the drawers in a pile ready to be thrown away, when I walked by my sinks in my master bath one day and had a thought...
My sinks in my bathroom are free-standing and you can see the floor underneath, I had always thought of putting baskets under there, but never got around to it, so...
I got my slave niece that I am home-schooling on it! It was 92 degrees today, so the paint was drying as she painted. We considered this our Art class!
While the paint was drying I cut out some stencils that I traced onto parchment paper from my computer, like always!
After that I used some glaze paint stuff from HL to distress the drawers and started to stencil. I did use some "stencil paint" that I already had from a project I never did... of course! I must say that stuff is a must if you use the parchment paper as your stencils because it does not bleed at all! Let's move on shall we?
Here it is still wet, I know because I picked it up right after this pic and smudged the "N", good thing I was going for that "not perfect" look!
And here they are in all there glory! I must say it is nice to have a place to put my towels in this bathroom since there is no linen closet in here!
I have 3 more of these drawers just sitting around, got any ideas?
Onward, to tackle the dresser!!!

Super cute idea - such creative storage! I did snicker a little at drawers labeled No. 1 and No. 2 in a bathroom. :D
My niece said the same thing! LOL!
Ha! Good bathroom lingo too!
Love the repurpose.
Visiting from NFF. I love drawers. You can even use them outside as planters!

What a great idea!! I love how cute they look!
Cute idea! I love the color you used, and the number stencils really finish it off!
They look wonderful in your pretty bathroom. I have several flat fronted drawers that I was just today wondering what I can do with them. I will check and see if any more suggestions come in.

AWESOME! What a great idea.
Hi, I love how you used the drawers under your sinks, too cute. Can't wait to see what you do with the dresser.
Hugz,

Looks super cute! Do you think I could borrow your slave, I mean Hannah!! Are those jars on the sink the ones we got at the yard sale?
Great repurpose~they look really nice under your sinks.
I'd use the rest of the drawers for some under the bed storage. Just add casters and some pulls. :)
Love the idea of the casters on the bottom, thanks Sheila and Sarah yes those are the jars from the yard sale ;)We got to hit some more of those soon!
This is the most clever idea.It looks great!
Oooooo... I love this idea!!! People are always getting rid of old drawers and dressers, and this is such a fabulous way to repurpose them.
As for the others, I ditto adding casters for underbed storage!
Trying to catch up on my blog 'surfing', and I must say that your drawers are ADORABLE!!!! I really, really like them! I love your sinks too and the cabinets they're in. The stencil you did is perfect! Excellent repurpose!! Lisa :0)
Great idea! Awesome that they fit perfectly.
What a great idea, I love it, that was thinking outside the box!
The bathroom project looks great!
You could stagger/stack some or all of the others, attach them together and use them for books.
