The previous tenant of the home I just moved into left an old wooden desk in the storage shed. It would be beautiful with a makeover, but it’s missing several drawers. I’m not quite sure what to do with it yet, so I decided to give a purpose to one of the larger drawers this week. My roommate and I needed something to organize our jewelry, make-up, and perfumes in our bathroom, so I transformed the drawer into an organizer! Often times you can find random drawers at thrift stores or garage sales– instead of passing them by, you repurpose one into a handy organizer!
How To Do It:
Wipe down your drawer. Mine had a lot of dust/dirt on it and a sticker.
Use the smaller spaces for jewelry. I used one section for rings, one section for earrings, and one section for hair pins. The other larger sections I used for necklaces.
Fill it with other items you need. Here are some examples:
There are so many items that you could use to hang jewelry on, organize make-up, or simply showcase your items. Be creative! Although I took pictures of my repurposed desk drawer in my room, I plan on putting it in the bathroom closet. It will provide an adorable way for my roommate and I to organize and showcase our everyday items. What would you put in a repurposed drawer?
