I have this super annoying storage thingy in my studio. If you have one you know what I mean
The other day I went to perhaps the strangest estate sale ever. The house was filled with ugliest random furniture, and trust me I can go for random. I did find this cute little dresser beneath a behemoth lamp. Modeled here by my associate.
It was my intention to teach her how take the knobs off, but she was uninterested because I told her she couldn’t use this.
For a couple of days I wondered how to make this little dresser my own. I have been known to organize a thing or two, but I usually reorganize it again later and have to change all the labels. I then thought I would be Ironic and decorate each drawer with pictures of things you couldn’t possibly fit in drawers. Out came the Pennys and Sears catalogs.
and the Elmers.
I then gave each drawer a coat of glue and had some fun randomly placing images. I let the drawers dry overnight, and in the morning used an old framers trick my dad taught me. By gently sanding the edges of the drawer I was able to get a clean line while removing the excess paper.
I need a new camera. A trip to the bottomless pit unearthed these porcelain beauties.
After trying to get my associate to put the pulls on. I just did it myself.
So here you have it. I keep my tires in the first drawer, my tv’s in the second, my shotguns in drawer three, my roller skates in drawer number four and small children in the bottom.
Small children should always be kept in the bottom drawer. That way if they escape they won’t hurt themselves falling.

Good thinking. But shouldn’t they be a couple more drawers away from the shotguns?
