During clean up week I found a few other treasures. You can see the big find here! But I also found some old drawers, left in a desk that we just couldn't save, I grabbed 3 of the 4 drawers, the other was forever stuck! I gave them a few coats of paint and have been using them as display pieces.
I still can't find myself content with my mantle arrangement, so I keep puttering along moving things around until it hits me. Which will probably be around the time for the fall mantle. Still, vintage jars always seem to stay in some way or another.
One drawer had more compartments, making it a great display piece. One I painted pink and for now it is holding things under a dresser.
This is my "thinking about and Etsy shop" display.
I was fortunate enough to find a couple windows, I sold one and kept the other for now. A little chalkboard paint and some cork board, along with junk features and hooks make it a practical piece.
Easy junk style with minimal investment!

You know how different people see different things....I think using the latch to hold the chalk is brillant!
Hi Shannon! Oh, you're amazing! I would never have thought to use these pieces like you have! :O Love the little display you've put together. Those are some darling little bitty shoes! Now I need to be on the lookout for some drawers! :)

Hi Shannon, I love the way you have reused these vintage pieces. The old drawer is so fun for a mantel display. Love the old bottles with numbers! I really like the combo of cork and chalk in the window. I have a fetish for old windows. Thanks for sharing this with Share Your Cup.

Saw your feature at Share Your Cup and wanted to stop by and see the drawers. I just found a bunch of drawers and am still contemplating their fate. It was fun to see how you used yours.
