If you’ve got an old drawer lying around—or spot one at a thrift store or curbside—you might want to grab it! In this fun trash-to-treasure DIY, we’re giving new life to an old drawer and turning it into something beautiful for the home. It’s a simple makeover that proves you don’t need fancy supplies or a big budget to create unique decor. Let me show you how easy it is to transform a piece most people would toss into a one-of-a-kind treasure!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The supplies for this project are super simple! I had an old drawer sitting around, grabbed a can of spray paint, and picked out a decorative knob. That’s it! You can find these items just about anywhere—and there’s a good chance you already have everything you need.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

First things first, I gave the drawer a good wipe down to clean off any dust and dirt. Then I took it outside and gave it a fresh coat of black spray paint.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, I grabbed a decorative knob and attached it to the drawer. It originally had a small, simple knob, but I wanted something with a little more bam!—something that would really stand out and give the piece some personality.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s it—our makeover is complete and now it’s time to decorate! I added a candle ring, a few pumpkins, and one of our candles from the website to give it a cozy fall feel. The best part about this DIY is how versatile it is—you can leave it out all year long and simply switch up the decor with the seasons!
