I found this little divided, wooden drawer with knob at a local antiques/consignment shop for $5.
After a scrubbing with hot soapy water, I gave the little drawer a makeover.

I opted to stencil the drawer sides with the new *Old Sign Stencils Shipping Crate Stamps stencil.
Some of the stencil areas were too large for the drawer sides, but I managed to find several stencils that will "do the trick".
I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in Ash
for the stenciling.
I painted the knob with Dixie Belle Paint in Hurricane Gray, and used Hurricane Gray paint and my FolkArt Layering Block
to faux distress the drawer edges.

I picked up these mini buckets in the party favor section of Dollar Tree.
I brushed on two coats of Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Manatee Gray
on the little party favor buckets.

I waxed the buckets and the drawer with Dixie Belle Best Dang Furniture Wax in Clear.
I found these three little mini succulents for $3 each at a local floral shop.
I planted them in the buckets in cactus and succulent soil.
I love the grays and mustard colors together!
And the stencils add so much fun to the mustard drawer sides!
I just fit the stencils in where I could!

I am keeping this cute little drawer with the sweet little succulents all to myself!
Of course, you can use faux succulents, if you would rather!
Thanks for visiting!
