10. Drawers to Side table idea
10 Drawers Have Turned into Side table via simphome comWhat will you do to an ancient extra large drawer? Before you consider putting it either in the storeroom or in the trash can, try to upcycle it into side tables.
You’ll need 2 extra-large drawers, 8 small furniture legs, and some scrap wood.
The part with a handle will be the top side of the side table and the other will be the bottom side. You can keep the handle in its original look if you like but if it disturbs you, you can remove it for sure.
Now, attach two sets of legs to each drawer with blind nuts. Put the scrap wood in the middle of the drawers to form a shelf. Attach it with wood glue and brads. And for the finishing, adorn them with some pastel shades.

Wooden crates are sometimes left collecting dust. However, with a bit of creativity and sufficient time, anyone can turn them into a nifty and functional ottoman. First, you only need to provide 4 wooden crates, 1.25” wood screws, 4 casters, and a cushion.
To craft your new ottoman, begin with sanding your wooden crates to get smooth surface then paint or stain them. Once they dried, put them together with screws to form a square with your crates opening facing outwards. Make sure the edges of your crates are flush each other.

After your upside-down table square is ready, align a frame with the crates. Ensure your frame is flush with each corner of your table. Secure your new furniture piece by drilling some screws through your table into your crates then attach a caster in each corner using screws. Last, attach a cushion on the top for more comfortable seating experience.
