How to turn a kitchen drawer into a planter

Today we have a wonderful DIY its all about turning a kitchen drawer or any kind of drawer  you might have laying around into a planter and guess what she added legs to it too. Lets see who did Nicole from Design it Girl Blog did it.

TOOLS/SUPPLIES

• White Paint (I used KRYLON spray paint)
• Kitchen Drawer
• Primer (KRYLON) works great
• Slate Blue (KRYLON spray paint)
• Plastic (to layer the inside) I used gallon size zip lock bags
• Staple Gun
• Felt Dots (that's what I call them) for the bottom legs
• Philips screw driver 
• Contact Paper
• Staple Gun

I love planting succulents, I don't know a how to, but to me having these in your home is 

the new modern way to live! It also adds a natural element to your home decor.

From kitchen drawer , to planter box! 

I love the cute ceramic knobs, I completely forgot about these beauties

and thought it would look perfect! What do you think?

My neighbor is remodeling her kitchen , and tossed a few drawers out, along with the original brass hardware. I took the drawers with the hardware and kept only one drawer to actually upcycle into a planter box. Then I remembered I having these legs and the hardware to go with it as well, and thought "this would really look cute". 

Step 1- Clean out the drawer completely and wipe down using a wet rag

Step 2- Once the drawer is dried spray on primer, once dried I chose slate Blue by #KRLYON for the final color.

Step 3- Once everything is completely dried, use plastic lining or (in my case) I used zip lock bags. Line the drawer from corner to corner overlapping leaving NO gaps and staple in place using a staple gun. You don't want water seeping through. (I forgot to take a photo of that process, but you get the idea). 

Step 4- Add contact paper to add a little more character to your planter/box.

I added a few different planters inside the planter box to add dimension, and interest, also height. 

i love the look a real conversation piece, and the doggies love smelling around it. Hopefully spike doesn't lift his leg? ;0 if you notices I skipped the sanding part all together since the drawer really didn't need it.

What do you think? not bad for a quick and free DIY project.

I stapled the plastic liner to the inside of the drawer, doesn't have to perfect, just make sure water doesn't find its way out! This project was fun, simple and easy to do. How many of us have drawers from furniture not being used? or wine bottle crates? and have no idea what to do with it,now you know.

You can even add casters too.

I am practicing, using my daughters Camera! 

I placed a butterfly tea light inside the Hippo! :)
