Two Drawers Repurposed into a "Basket"

I woke up too early on Wednesday, 11/16, to a wonderful surprise....my little drawer project was featured by Savvy Southern Style.  I imagine you're aware of Kim's Wow us Wednesday link-up party, but if for some reason you've missed it...you should definitely check it out.  I can't thank Kim enough for featuring my drawers!

This project was also featured by Amanda at Serenity Now (I LOVE the name of this blog)



Amanda has a link party each Friday called "Weekend Bloggy Reading" where you link up your favorite post each week.  Another MUST attend event! Thanks to Amanda for featuring my project!



So on with my post....

It seems lately that I've been getting into furniture ruts...first my whole chest/trunk thing, and now drawers.  I just posted a couple weeks ago about another repurposed drawer idea, and now here I am again...I also have ANOTHER drawer project I'm working on now. huh, I really don't plan it this way.

So, here's another set of sewing machine drawers my mom (she's my "picker" teehee!! I think she just likes to shop, and now she has a reason to do it) found for me. 

I had my husband attach them to one another (and they will NEVER, EVER come apart) and I added the handle, which I made from jute wrapped with twine.

The old finish was pretty thick, so I sanded some of it for a more natural look.  Aren't the little pulls so cute?

I think I might replace the hooks I used to attach the handle as these ones have little hinges, so the handle doesn't stand up on its own.

It's a unique storage idea...I thought for crafting supplies, books/papers, a catchall...or it could be used as a decor item if filled with shells, candles, dried lavender, plants, Christmas ornaments and the like.

I have so much left to do to get everything ready for my booth.  Last night I was trying to print out tags and a couple things for another project...only to find that one (or both - they've recently started joining forces against me...I wanted them to be close, but I didn't mean like this) had jammed Max's toothbrush in the paper feeder.  I was.not.happy. to say the least.  My husband managed to get it out around midnight, but I'm not sure if the printer still works....we'll see! Is this what "they" were referring to as the "joys of motherhood"?

If I'm not around for a couple days, I have a busy few days coming up...a printer repair, a barn sale, Emme's first birthday, Ohio State football, the booth and TONS of projects to finish. TONS.

Any fun stories of "help" from pets, kids, spouses....etc?
