Oh WOW! I love this idea! Very clever! Thank you for sharing!

What a great idea and a beautiful job repurposing!!!

bradleycpa 02-18-2012 10:47 AM

How clever. I'll have to keep this is mind when I get enough space in my craft room for another chest. TFS.

Love it! I did this with a triple dresser. Don't you love all the extra room your big board gives you? I love how you covered the drawers with fabric. Nice touch.

Looks really good. I like to see re-purposing, it gives me ideas. thanks for sharing.....

I feel stupid asking because we are on to page 5 and I guess everyone else knows, but...on the drawers, is that glued, stapled, is there batting on the drawer fronts...etc...Thanks!

I have thought about covering a piece, but I feared it would be difficult to keep clean.. did u use anything such as Scotchguard on the fabric drawer fronts????


I agree..looks great!

now that is very clever, indeed! I love it when people re-use and make it beautiful!

Great idea! Never would have thought to put fabric on the drawers!

KyKaren1949 02-19-2012 04:54 AM

I love it! What a great idea and so creative!!!

Just Me... 02-19-2012 04:58 AM

I do love that top fabric! Hopefully you put something between the batting and the top to keep the steam from ruining the wood....

PurpleBecca 02-19-2012 05:01 AM

Love, love, love it!!!!!

Great idea! I often lament the lost space below the ironing board. I'm now on the lookout for an old dresser!

I covered the top with batting and fabric and decided that the drawer fronts needed sprucing up as well so bought coordinating fabric and am covering the drawers. Only the top three left to go.

Very pretty.....Nice job....I am sure you are enjoying it...Thanks for sharing.

Awesome... great recycling project and very useful and memories to boot. Congratulations it's beautiful.

Wow! You done good! Love it, love it. Who would mind pressing now?
