A fun little DIY

I'm quickly discovering a fringe benefit of living in student family housing...

... People throw out a lot of furniture!!

Last week, I found these two old drawers.


I *immediately* decided that these should become a small shelf.

I removed the handles, and joined the two drawers together.


I cut some fabric to go in the back, glued it on, and decided to paint the whole thing brown.



True, I should have painted *before* adding the fabric, but I can always add in a new fabric backdrop later. Also, the pain isn't the greatest finish, but it has a mice kind of rustic vibe to it.

All in all, I'm happy with the results. Now I just need to fill it!
