Up- cycled Drawer Shelf

I had found all these old drawers at the recycle center last summer and I thought they had potential. 

So I decided to paint them all different colors and try to sell them.  I thought someone could use them as storage or just a neat decor idea.

Well no one wanted them and they sat and sat,  then my husband of all people suggested I stack them up to make a shelf!   Here it is an up-cycled drawer shelf I thought would work great for all the kids dvd's.


(oops my dog feels the need to stand right in front of whatever I'm taking pictures of)

  7. Love, love, love this idea. I always see broken dressers put outside on trash day. What a great way to use the drawers. Do you have a tutorial on how you put it together?

  13. wondering how you got the bottom level, because the drawer front creates a lip which makes it tilt. Did you saw off the edge of the drawer front to be even with the edge of the drawer?
