well, not just for boys…
I found this draw on the side of the road.
It was part of a great leggy buffet, but the rest of the
piece had seen better days.
So I just took the drawer.
Sprayed it Fern Green
{a new fav from Rustoleum}
Added some photo copied
vintage maps with wall paper paste.
{the maps were a Father’s day gift I found on e-bay
-a bit hit with Danny I might add}
I sanded much of the Fern Green off of the wood.
Check the fab knob, would you?
Added some wheels.
ta-da
I know it’s nothing you haven’t seen done before.
But, thought you might use it as a reminder to
stop next time you pass a bunch of stuff in the trash.
You’ll find use for something!
Oh, alright. I’ll throw in a mini sneak peak
{Still waiting on the box spring}

Flipping GENIUS! I'm sooooooo doing this for under all my kids (and ours too) beds. Thanks for the idea. 🙂
Oh no not just for boys! I love it so much!
I especially love that you modge podged the bottom to add to it.
For months now I have told my husband if you see any drawers on the side of the road or in someone's trash pick them up. He was mortified and thinks it ridiculous. I will just have to show him what you did. It looks amazing and is functional! Love it!
I love that idea!
I was just thinking last nite of this very idea- for my grandsons soon to be new room. My daughter and her family maybe moving soon and the boys will have to share– this would be great for under their beds– they could each have a drawer. The best part is—the drawers DON'T HAVE TO MATCH! you could shop several curbs for something like this.
Love the green on yours can't wait to see the finished room!

A great idea and I love the distressed look of the green. I'll be looking for abandoned drawers too. His room is cute.
Love it…..but really ~ Jonas is in a big boy bed….we really haven't seen each other in a while! Love this post…looks great! I have your Wreath.

I absolutely love this idea! And I love the color!
I love your blog and this idea, is so neat. I guess that is a good way to discribe it. It will help keep rooms neat and tidy. I know I will be looking for a few drawers. I love the color!

I saw you on Shabby Nest. This is such a great idea! I could really use something like this in my twin boys' room. Thanks for sharing!
Great idea nonetheless. I never find junk around my neighbor's houses. Bummer. Can't wait to see his room reveal. You're using the same colors as my son's room.
Love this!
