I found this old drawer a couple weeks ago. It's all wood, but it was scratched really badly, and it was missing its handles. I painted it white, then sanded the paint so it looks aged. The I decoupaged old sheet music to the inside of it.

It's a very versatile piece. The second picture shows it being used as a display case for my old dance trophies and memoribilia. I put the ribbons from the medals through the holes where the drawer pulls are supposed to be so that they hang down in the display.

Never thought about turning it on end, how creative -- and the timepieces dangling from ribbon through the drawer pulls, fabulous! Posted: 9:54 am on February 19th

Nice job!
