Re-purposing Empty Drawers

I have had these drawer collecting dust since I removed the spare bed out of my daughters room about a year ago. She had two beds that had storage drawers under the mattress. Since she no longer need two beds in her room, we decided to remove one. 


The frame was broken down and put into the attic but I didn't want to put the drawers up there too. I figured I could use them for extra storage in my bedroom. I ended up putting two under my bed.  One held a few pairs of shoes and the other papers, books and my laptop cords. The last one, I slid into the bottom of my closet and it held a bunch of odds and ends. They worked out great. 


Over the last few months, I have been organizing my craft area (which is in my bedroom). With all the things that I trashed or got rid of, it cleared up a lot of space. So much that the items that were in the three drawers were giving new homes else where. So now I was stuck with three empty drawers and no place to put them. I racked my brain to find them a new home. I still could not bring myself to putting them in the attic. Finally I had an idea....

I will turn them into a bookshelf!

I put one against the wall...

stacked the second one on top of it....

then stacked the last one on top of that.... 

and 

WAH-LAH!!! A New Bookshelf! 

This was just a test run to see if it would work and it did!I can't wait to secure it together,  paint it, and add a little Carmen flair to it!

When I saved these drawers from the attic all that time ago, this is not what I had in mind. ..It's a lot BETTER! 

Stay Blessed, Carmen
