I have been collecting anything old for as long as I can remember. My grandfathers both enjoyed making stuff out of trash or what would be considered trash to most people. I learnt at a very young age that what was at the curb was yours although my parents didn't have the same feeling. As soon as I moved out on my own I started rescuing curbed items and painting them and either reusing them or giving them away as gifts. I love to go to auctions, garage sales and still can't resist the evening out to check out my neighboring refuse. I strongly believe that if items that still had a life were not sent to trash but to some sort of a warehousing that we would see a lot more creative people reusing a vast majority of items that now land up in the land fill. I am spreading the word, one day at a time.
I found these sewing machine drawers at the curb last summer and have been debating what to do with them. I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f...
