Each drawer had old heavy metal band names carved into it, such as AC/DC, Metallica and Slayer.
And the veneer was damaged on the bottom.
It received a through cleaning (there were a lot of Hersey Kisses flags inside the drawers). Then I glued the veneer, using binder clips and heavy objects to hold it in place while the glue dried.
Next, a little wood putty and a lot of sanding! I thought about new drawer pulls, but in the end, I decided clean up the existing pulls with Howards Restore-a-Finish.
My craft room doesn't have much for drawer space, so I'm so excited to re-organize.
No more signs of adolescent angst! Isn't it cute now?

Nice save! Who knew such a sweet chest was hidden under all that! Thanks for linking to Wicked Awesome Wednesday!
