It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

The Way He Upcycles These Dresser Drawers Is So Creative And Genius!

Consider this:  you don’t necessarily need to use this old dresser AS a dresser.

You could toss the body of the piece and then use the drawers to construct a cool and modern-looking shelving unit that can store books, bins, toys, clothes, shoes…anything!

Check out what this WiseDIYer executed by simply stacking the drawers in formation that he liked, using the pre-drilled handle holes to connect the drawers wherever possible and then literally just giving it one coat of primer and leaving it as-is for an unfinished look.

This is now some VERY useful storage!  Sturdy, cool looking and of course, practical.

Very well done!  Of course, you could paint yours with a full paint job.

Have you ever repurposed part of a piece of furniture?  What did you do?

Thank you to brackwho for this amazing idea and for the pics!

    I really like this!

    I have a dresser where all the drawers are the same height but I plan on using my kitchen drawers when I remodel and I have two deep ones and three shallow ones. Looking forward to very unique wall storage instead of a wall cabinet.

  4. Good creative solution!
