Repurposed Drawer

This was a fun simple DIY project that I didn't even know I was going to do!

I had been looking for a napkin holder because well, my napkin holder was being used for something else.  Funny, I know.  I had a crock of utensils, salt and pepper shaker and oil dispenser (is that even what it is called??? That does NOT sound right...) that would roam all over the countertop, so I grabbed my napkin holder to corral them.

Well, that is fine and good until napkins are flying all over the place.

My mom, sister and I were out shopping one day in a cute little store that happened to have random odds and ends in the back corner.  I found this!


It was this small square sized old drawer and knob for all of a couple dollars.  And my immediate thought was, "hey! that would work!"  I wasn't even looking for the napkin holder that particular day, it just jumped out at me.

So, I sanded it just a bit, grabbed some black spray paint, and Voila!


I was so excited to get it all put together.  Shannon had to find a new screw for the knob, and once he did, it all came together!

But, guess what?  It's not holding napkins. 


But, it works super well as a catch-all caddy!  So much excitement here, for something so small, but I love it!



Sometimes, you just have to think out of the box! ;)
