Drawer Redo and Giveaway

My dad had something similar to this in his garage and I was eye-balling it one day. He noticed, so the next day, I came home to this little beauty in my garage!



How awesome is that?! I know it doesn't look like much now, but I could absolutely see the potential!

So I took it all apart and cleaned it out back. Just a spray with the hose, and a little rub down with a rag. Nothing too time consuming! ;)



Then it was into the garage for a paint job! I sanded down some really rough, rusty spots, but not all of it and hit it with satin nickle paint on the body and gloss black on the drawer fronts.








Then I moved it into my computer/craft/sewing/play room and put it back together.

Looking good, but not quite finished...


Ah Ha! Lovin' it with the little tags. I started putting some stuff in it, but haven't labeled the drawers yet. I love how it turned out, and even more I love the storage for all my little things! Dad wants it back now! :) I'm planning a craft room that is going to be above my garage, and I think I'm going to stick with black for it, since I can coordinate all used furniture with a quick spray coat of black paint!

Now, on to something else! This little camera strap I made:
I'm going to do a giveaway, and this is the prize! So, if you're interested, become a follower and leave me a comment on this post. If you're already a follower, just leave a comment. (All 8 of you!) I'll run the giveaway for 10 days, so I'll pick a winner on May 14. Good luck!
