Deciding what to do with a hand-me-down dresser can be frustrating. Should you throw it away or try to refurbish it? Choose the latter, and bring it back to life by using it as a base of a window box. Not only will you feel better about not wasting it, it will add a vintage ambience to the outside of your house!

Directions:

1. Start cutting down your drawers. They should be roughly around 12” wide and 8” deep.
2. Remove  the back piece or the dresser drawer. Cut off the end of the drawer until it is 8” deep.
3. Reattach the back of the drawer with screws in each corner to complete the box.
4. Drill holes in the bottom of the drawer with the drill bit for drainage.
5. Apply a new coat of paint of your desired color.
6. Once dry, fill with potting soil and flowers of your choice.

Tip: The exterior of houses varies. You can either purchase a bracket, or attach hooks to the exterior of the window. To determine the best way to hang your window box, speak with a representative at your local hardware store.
