Unique Kitchen Drawers used as Storage for my Dishes

I was at an auction several years ago when these hand painted drawers came up for bid.    I immediately fell in love with them.....didn't know what I would use them for.....but bid on them anyway.    I won the bid at $16 for the set.    Lots of work went into painting these drawers and I was surprised that they sold for only $4 each,   but happily loaded them in the car.       

In the before pic you can see how they have been hidden all these years behind a curtain.     In the after pic,   you can see how I have uncovered them and made them a star in my kitchen.

I changed out the floor length pink curtains for white Battenburg 3/4 length curtains.

Now for a look behind the scenes......lol!

I have tons of gorgeous china to create lovely table scapes when we have company or even when it's just H & I........

Now for a peek in the drawers.......

A lot of my dishes are inexpensive yard sale finds and I use them to create mix and match table scapes,,,,,,,,which in my opinion are even prettier than tablescapes I create with my more expensive matched sets of dishes

My white and blue dishes......and I love to mix them with some red goblets  I have to create Patriotic tablescapes.

When not in use,   this is where I store my enamel lids that you have seen me use many times on the stove top as burner covers. 

 
Now for a closer look at the smallest of the drawers that I keep under the Hoosier cabinet.

Not only do the drawers have hand painted flowers on the front......

The drawers all have flowers painted on the bottom as well.    This was the only drawer that I was ambitious enough to empty out where you could see the bottom of it......

I wish the artist that painted the drawers would have signed them.....lovely work!

Thank you so much for stopping by to see the unique drawers that I use for odds and ends dishes.    I hope they inspired you to maybe transform some odd drawers that you have on hand and use them in a different way!    Please share your ideas in a comment.......hugs....
