How to Build a A Polka Dotted Drawer Bookshelf DIY
Since life never REALLY slows down for us women, we decided to share our latest post that we wrote for Allthingsthrifty.com. For a cute project, I created a sweet little bookshelf.

Why not give them a more permanent residence in my home. I have been loving all the Anthropologie styled decor pins that I have been eying for a while now. So, I…
(Lazy Woodworker's) Night Stand From an Old Drawer
This wooden cube was just too small and sad to be a night stand, so I stuck a drawer on top. I'm embarrassed to say that the cube above has served as a night stand for a number of years, despite it being too insignificant and too worn to look good. Conversely, in the garage, in a much shorter period, the stack of used drawers was growing much too significant but equally worn. So, it seemed like a good idea to combine the two and let them balance each other out, kind of like a DIY Y…

The drawer that I made holds eight pairs of shoes and easily slides under our bed thanks to the wheels that I added to the bottom of the drawer.
Up-Cycled Drawers to Shelves. YES I Did.
I like to think outside of the box! I picked these Bathroom Cabinet drawers out of a 1930's house ready to be demolished. There was something sweet about them...I had an idea... These 1930's bathroom cabinet drawers called me as I walked through a 1930's house about to be demolished. I liked the lightweight wood they were made from and the sweet little design on them. I scrubbed the cabinets with a bleach/water combo and a wire brush just because I had no idea how long or what creatu…

I also used a Karate belt rack for the bottom shelf. So it all starts with this drawer. Basically, make a frame around it. Drill holes before the screws so that the wood doesn't split. I do not remember the height of the night stand, so I don't have measurements. But next time I go to the cabin, I can measure it if…
