Upcycled Drawers to Side Tables

We rescued some large mid century drawers and turned them into bright side tables. 2 extra large drawers, 8 little legs, and some scrap wood. The legs were attached with blind nuts and a wood shelf was added. A couple coats of paint later and bland drawers become bright accents. I chose to leave the original handles on to keep the mid century feel, two sets of legs were used, although they didn't match exactly, we trimmed one pair and the slight miss match adds to their charm and uniqueness. *Due to many questions I am adding more info here after original publishing.

Every one needs a resource like Karen – Thanks Karen xo.  She has a professional workroom in her home where she makes all sorts of home decorator treatments for hundreds of clients. She has been in business for years a...
