After some 3 years of not having a desk/work space and using a laptop on the lounge I now have a fab desk made for me by Mr Blue-eyes. I'll show pix and details of that in another post but in the meantime i needed some neat drawers to go under it for misc bits & bobs that i collect (hoard).After being dismayed by the prices at Doug Up On Bourke for industrial drawers, a bit of trawling on ebay delivered these steel/wooden drawers that durable and considerably more afforable. A bit plain but i had some ideas for that.I've been a fan of T
ord Boontje and his wonderful objects and motifs for a couple of years now. I've been collecting some of his Table Stories tableware (from MCA Store, DeDeCe or Top3byDesign) and also have a couple of his paper Fairy Tail Garlands in red and green. as lovely as they are they're a bit delicate and after a clumsy moment i tore my red garland that i had hanging in the bedroom and couldn't bear to throw it away.
We have a bit of a red/purple vibe in our living room so i saw a good mix with the garland and the drawers.
Some spray adhesive and a couple of coats of varnish the garland is now on the drawers.
A bit of a dig around on ebay sourced some pink glass knobs for a few dollars each. Though I'm one short as Mr Blue-eyes didn't know his own strength when helping me attach them and twisted one off....
Tah dah....
