When my Mom and I were at garage sales this weekend, I saw this really dirty drawer filled with really dirty bottles on the ground under a table. Wish I had taken a picture of it dirty. What caught my eye was the handle and the chippy paint. I asked if the drawer was for sale. The couple gave each other a look like I was crazy, they sort of hesitated and then said well I guess it can be for sale. I asked how much. When they said $2. I took it to my car.
Not sure why I like drawers, old tool boxes and crates, but I do. Now I can’t decide if I should just leave it as is or strip it and paint it.
The front is white and one side is blue, well sort of. The other side doesn’t have any paint. The inside is gray.
So would you buy it? If so, would you redo it?
I am linking to Junker Newbie Would You Buy It Wednesday?
Oh yes I would have picked that up and ran great for displaying things!!!
I love finding other people who love drawers. Thanks.
Yes! and if I had the time I’d redo it. I know every one paints everything but I think there would be awesome patina on the wood under that paint on the front panel.
You have a great idea. The pantina might be beautiful. thanks.
Yes, I would have bought it! I would probably leave as is, cause the bluish color matches my bathroom.
You must have a great color for your bathroom. It is a pretty blue.
I would buy it and probably leave it as is. Love the blue shade. Doesn’t it make you wonder why there is different paint on each side? I always wonder about the story behind things like this.
Yes, the story that I hear of the things I wonder about is what makes things like this so fun to buy. I love the story.
I would have grabbed it up too! And leave it. I love wood drawers painted or plain. They are so flexible in use! I would HATE to count how many I have floating around my house!
I am glad I am not the only one who loves things like this.
Yes, LOVE it! I would leave it chippy…and actually take a sander to it to rough it up more 🙂 Laurel
Everything is better when it is distressed. 🙂
in a heartbeat! I love it and if you decided NOT to keep it send it to me 🙂
Ok I will keep that in mind. 🙂
Thanks for your comment.
