Hi - today I thought I would show you my button drawer box thingy -
I have sort of shown it before, but well... I wanted to show it off today again.. LOL I made this a while back. Well I painted it, This was an unfinished piece I got at Hobby Lobby when it was 50% off. I think I paid like $5.00 And it came with the little handles! It had to be painted blue and white to match my room of course. I used inexpensive acrylic paint -
It really turned out cute, and I love it sitting up on my desk top shelf. My button Drawers!
Here is a look in the "Red/Pink" drawer -
Now this has been great for me.... has been... I have been trying to decide where to go from here.... Should I get a second one or find larger storage? Mine is SO full that the drawers are just not working well and I have started piling up buttons in other places. So ... opinions here, Do a second one and expand? Or should I look for something larger?
Thought I would also share one of my all time favorite storage items.... You can find these all over my house for storage - Here are a few on top of one of my cabinets in my Craft Room - Vintage Tin Bread Boxes!
These here hold old family photos - and paperwork - and old tools and the tall round container... it has some old markers and ink pads in it.
They make me happy - I love seeing them in my room, I love recycling them for my uses, and honestly - they are pretty inexpensive at yard sales or markets... well sometimes they are, I have seen crazy prices at some shows - but shop around!
Hope you enjoyed today- give me your opinion on my button drawers -
HUGS and -

I like the drawers.. I am if I don't see it I do not always remember I have it. My though if you like the drawers and have floor space possibly a lingerie chests?
I like the drawers. Another one like that and you could just seperate the colours more. 1 drawer for red; pink; yellow etc and they just sit on top of each other.... just a thought.

I do like your vintage tin collection. I spied some in your kitchen too. If you can find another of the drawer unit, I would go with that. Maybe separate the colors more. Like instead of pink and red in one drawer have one drawer for each. Have a great day!!
That is so adorable, I would get a second one and go side by side.
I ditto the vote for a second set of drawers. It looks perfect.
Like you button drawers. If they're all full, maybe it's time to stop buying buttons until you use some of those up???? Just a thought. LOL
Hi Michelle, I would also go for a second set of drawers. This blue-white one is lovely and like all others said you have more room to split up colours. Good luck.
I would go with a second set of drawers. I'm with everyone else in that you can separate your colors out more....and I love the tins. I have a bunch of candy tins sitting on top of a shelf....Now I have a good use to put them to....thank you for sharing your ideas!
I'd say get another one of the same too, they are so sweet and look a perfect size to have as button drawers - so sweet.
...and I bet if you went for a new larger storage solution for your buttons you'd only fill it again really soon ;) lol!

I vote with all the others. Another drawer like you have. Separate the colors per drawer. You love it so and it's right there where you use them.
