You think the walls in your apartment are bare, but you just don't have the right design piece to light them up? Never mind. Try to make an original shelf from an old drawer.

Clean white walls light up the apartment nicely, but they certainly do not look cozy. They need to be improved a little bit. If you are just disposing of an old table or cupboard with a drawer or drawers, you have won. In a moment, you will make a shelf from the old drawer, which you can hang in two ways.

You can hang the shelf traditionally. I hope you do better than the photographer.

How to do
it

1
Wipe the drawer well first. Then squeeze the bottom. If there's a screw-on handle, remove it.

2
Sandpaper or cube to cover the back of the drawer. When this is not needed, just wipe the frame well again and remove all the stains, or re-skate them.

3
You'll deliver a new pizzazz to the shelf when you re-colace it. It's up to you if it's just paintless varnish or varnish. Anyway, we recommend water-sached, which does not smell, so you can work with it at home.

4
Allow the varnish to dry well, and then hang the shelf. This depends on how conservative you are. It can be hung around the corner or classically straight. That is, if you have a better eye than our photographer had.
