What Do You Do With An Old Drawer


If you've ever wanted to have potted plants outside but didn't have the budget or couldn't find the right style of pot to suit your home.  Try something cheap and vintage by using and old drawer.






I had two that I inherited from another project so I thought I'd give it a go.  I simply, lined the drawers with a plastic rubbish bag so that the potting mix doesn't rot the drawers  (I secured the plastic bag with staples). I filled them with potting mix, then planted some lavender.  That's it!!!   Because I had all the materials, it took less than 30 minutes.  




I did originally think about painting the drawers a different colour, but decided to leave them as they were - a sort of remembrance of the project I inherited them from.  




I'm really happy with the final product.  I'm already thinking about experimenting with different shapes and sizes to place around the Ponderosa.

Happy living people
