Pretty Porch Planters from Discarded Drawers

Don’t you love seeing all the colorful flowers turning up on everyone’s porches? Mindi noticed “drawers used for planters several times and loved them.” Thanks to a curbside find on her city’s clean up day, she finally has the chance to make her own! At My Love 2 Create, she’s showing us how it’s done.

Mindi used scrap wood to create a base the size of the drawers, then used leftover wood from another project to create shelves for the bottom and the legs of the smaller planter. A set of $1 spindles became the legs for the taller planter. To finish the drawers, Mindi drilled a few drainage holes in the bottom, stapled them to the bases, and then had some fun with spray paint! Mindi says, “This project makes me super happy, and I am so glad I get to see them on my porch every day.” I would be too!
