$1 Chest of Drawers

I am linking up (for the first time ever!) to Between Naps on the Porch- check out what other things have gone through a metamorphosis on this Monday!

$1 CHEST OF DRAWERS...

For Amy's birthday we went to an auction and spent the day doing whatever the day brought. It was so much fun! Of course, I bought all sorts of little fun things and giggled the whole time. Em spotted this chest of drawers in the barn and we got it for a buck! The hardware was incredible and totally matched the drawer pulls on the cabinet already living in my craft room. They needed a little TLC so I cleaned them, got the rust off and then hit them with some black paint.

The entire chest needed TLC! After getting the spiders evicted and clearing out the webs from the bottom, I cleared out the bird nest from the bottom drawer. Since there was so much rust on the drawer pulls I struggled to remove them from but after a bit of work they were all off.

I fixed the base so the chest of drawers would stand upright and my craft supplies wouldn't come tumbling out and then I painted it. The paint was leftover from painting the exterior of our house and all the lumber for fixing the base was found in our garage from other projects. The drawers got a fresh coat of paint before the storm came rolling in.

AND THE FINAL PRODUCT......(insert drumroll here)

I love how it just looks like these pieces were meant to be together but I got them from at various times and places!
