Little Drawer Organizers

It's Show and Tell Time!

This is not a paid advertisement - it's just a review of one of my favorite things.
This is one of those things that I'm grateful for, because it makes life a bit easier in simple ways.

One last thing in my scrapbooking arsenal (for this month anyway) that I include as one of my favorite things -
It's not expensive ..., It's nothing very unique ..., It comes in different sizes and colors ..., It's found most anywhere ..., 

Little Organizing Drawers!

Actually, I have a few of these in my home ...,

one in the garage with bolts and screws and nails and etc.,
one in in the mudroom tool closet with smaller screws, nails, hooks, etc.,
Sorry the photo is untouched, but those drawers are even worse - kinda very dusty, but I didn't think it was worth dumping and dusting each drawer for the photo or for any reason really!

and, one in the laundry room with craft supplies and little extras that I don't know what to do with - but can't throw them away ..., yet!

I just love little drawers and containers with see thru fronts - they allow me to see what I have and easily find what I'm looking for.

I still love the little drawers that don't have clear fronts, like these shown earlier, but I can't see what is inside them.


  They, for me, seem to be more decor than anything else.  Maybe someday I'll hang some tiny tags on the tiny knobs to show me what is inside each of the tiny drawers.
Actually, the drawers are empty for the moment, well, except for the top left - that drawer holds a few cards that came with the Willow Tree figurines I have. 
When I was redoing them I threw away or gave away most of the contents within the few drawers I had stuff in.  Hey, I hadn't seen them for months and didn't seem to miss them, nor could I figure out what I'd want that stuff for later.  That only works on occasion you know - I mean throwing stuff away. It made me happy! :)

Colorfully Covered Tiny Drawers

This from Living Beautifully is pretty cute lookin' -  These cheery colors and designs would brighten up any room.  What a way to repurpose!

This lovely look inspired me...

Do you remember this photo from an earlier post?

Do you see the little drawers at the right - the shelf unit and the chest unit below it?

I like the colors, but they were a bit dark and I was tired of that combination ..., so ..., 

That look became this look -

Can you see the difference?  They are a bit more cheery now ...,

 

I left the shelf sections the same painted cream color and glued paper on the front of each drawer.  And, I only used scrap pieces - awesome huh?!?!?!

The hardest part was getting those little knobs off.

Sanding the drawers to give them an antique look was easier than taking those off.

I put paper on the top of the chest of drawers, but did not on the top of the shelf unit.  I didn't want to take it off the wall and since we can't see the top of it I didn't think it needed covered.

 I love their new colors!

I think there is one more thing I need to do before I can call it done - I left some of the knobs their original dark color, but painted all the blue - that green peg on the shelf should be blue too.

I think the others can stay the color they are. 

It doesn't look so bad in person, but in the photo above I really notice it and I don't like it so much.

Now maybe I'm done with my stuff room?????

Well ... until something else inspires me!!!!!

"Pocket Full of Posies"

This party has a LOOK that caught my eye and didn't want to let it go.
It is so adorably sweet (and charming; as is written in their title). I know I will come back to this look often.

My few photos here are just that - few. Click on the link to see the full set of photos - they are awesome. From Hostess with the Mostess (This is one of my favorite places to LOOK!)

First up - the adorable colorful aprons. And it looks like they have coordinating cloth favor bags.



Next up - the adorable jean pocket garland, even on the juice jug/punch bowl.



Throughout the party we find these adorable paper mache flowers and they are definitely adorable on those pastry pedestals.




Enchanting isn't it!
