Dresser Drawers turned Succulent Garden. DIY: Gardening.

We had an extra set of dresser drawers after moving, and wanted to spruce up our big (and boring) yard. With some cheap pre-potted succulents and mulch, we have made a darling little nook.

  3. LINDSAY! I almost burst into tears just now!!! That dresser...it was mine. I am SOOOOO happy to see it being used like this!

    I picked out the whole bedroom set as my gift from my parents for my 16th birthday. When Ryan moved in with me in 2006, he wanted a project and I had wanted to "refinish" my furniture for a long time. We started the process in my Mom's garage, but soon found that the wood was so soft, that stripping and re-staining would be a long process. (Soft wood = porous wood.) Two moves later, we REALLY wanted to change the look, so we picked out a chocolate paint color and painted all the pieces, picked out and put on new hardware and used them until we got married, when we gave a few pieces of the set to George, who needed them. I seriously cannot tell you how much I love that it now has a place in your garden. <3 <3 <3

  6. These are important little tools for hand weeding and planting. Like shovels and spades, the best are made out of stainless steel. This means they can be left out in the garden and won't rust.
