A Thrifted Centerpiece

A Coastal Centerpiece

I don’t know what it is about old printers’ trays and drawers but when I see them I HAVE to buy them. Isn’t that crazy???? Do you guys ever feel the same way.

I just think they’re so versatile and great for decorating.

Today I’m going to share what I did with this old drawer, I made a thrifted centerpiece and it’s perfect if you like coastal or farmhouse style.

A Thrifted Centerpiece Perfect for Farmhouse Style

This is really such an easy little craft or DIY. All you need is a drawer or printers tray and a collection of things you love!

How to Make a Thrifted Centerpiece

I found this drawer last year with Luke at Todd Farm Flea Market, actually I bought four of these at $5 a piece. There was just something about them. I loved the gun metal gray (original paint) and those brass pulls. Well, you all know how I feel about old hardware….

Easy Drawer Centerpiece

Anyway, its a dream of mine for Luke to build soemthing that these drawers could go in. 😉 I hope he’s reading this right now. Ha! Ha!

The drawers were used in a workshop and have sections in them, perfect for collections.

I filled this with shells (of course).

Fill an old drawer with shells and flowers and you have a pretty centerpiece.

Simple Coastal Style

The sea grass makes a statement!

Sea Grass is perfect indoors too.

Oh, and this green fish float, it’s an antique (I have a set of three), is always perfect to add!

Antique fish floats add so much charm to decor.

Together these make quite a pretty vignette. It’s perfectly laid back for our coastaly lifestyle and easy to move when we want to eat pizza or Chinese infront of the TV.

Use an old drawer for the perfect thrifted centerpiece. Great for coastal for farmhouse decor.

I hope next time you come across a tray or drawer you’ll scoop it up and repurpose it!

Tomorrow I’ll share more of our living room makeover with you!

I don’t blame you for buying it. It’s a great find. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that Luke will build something wildly creative for you.

Cute! I like this idea. I have the printer’s boxes with small sections and used to have them on the wall filled with miniatures. I like the way you have yours set up with natural items in the cubbies. I tend to collect things from outside and this is a nice way to display them.
