(Thank you to

I've been working on all of our rooms upstairs, and it's been a major process...changing around furniture, adding new accessories, weeding out things I'm tired of, etc. Since I'm not quite ready to show you any of those rooms, yet, I decided to show you something of a theme that I've noticed around my house...drawer units! Lots and lots of drawers! I guess I have a weakness for anything with drawers-no matter how rusty, crusty, or distressed! Be forewarned, there are lots of drawer units, and lots of pictures!
This one is on a dresser beside the bed in the master bedroom, and it has a funny story...I found the heavy, wooden 'unit' at an antique store, and fell in love with its chippy paint. It only had 2 drawers, but I didn't care, so I bought it. Then I walked a couple doors down to another antique shop and they had 2 more matching drawers for sale! "Hmmm, I think I recognize these drawers", I thought, and sure enough they were from the same unit! Weird, huh? So I bought them and now there are 4. I only wish that I could've found the remaining 3, but I still love it in all its imperfect glory!
This is a new vignette that I just put together in the upstairs hallway. Love the nails stapled on the front of each drawer!
This is my newest drawer acquisition! I got this for a steal at a little flea market, and I'm going to use it for storing supplies (stamps, jewelry makings, etc.-I'll eventually make labels for it.) It reminds me of a Pottery Barn type piece. I love it because it's about 4 feet tall but narrow, so it fits perfectly in a little 'nook' in my upstairs hall. Great storage and great style-gotta love it!
This little baby had me at 'glass knobs'! I also love the crudely handwritten numbers on each drawer! It's in a little 'bedroom' upstairs that I use as my 'studio' (where I make jewelry, and try and be crafty :)
All the rest of these you've seen before in different photos, but thought I'd throw them in the mix, too! These next 2 smaller ones are both metal and in our office. I got them at 2 different antique malls. To see more of my office pics go to this
post.
This one is in our living room. We actually use it to store random 'stuff' like sunglasses, notepads, etc...I stamped the numbers on pieces of ledger paper and added them to the label slots. I thought they turned out pretty fun! Here is more of my
living room.
These next 2 are also in the living room. The first one is between the couch and the loveseat, and is very handy to hide our remotes, coasters, etc. The 2nd one is just purely decorative at this point.
And last, but not least, one of my favorite finds, which is in the sunroom! (More pics
here.) These came from an antique mall and I love their color, and the worn labels. Notice something? This is our cat Bobbi...and this is one of her favorite napping places! (She's got a hard life :)
Well, I told you there were lots to look at!! And if you can believe it, I didn't even show you all of them! Do any of you gravitate towards drawers like I do? I'd love to hear which of mine is your favorite! Have a wonderful day :)
