I saw an interesting idea the other day for a planter. An old dresser was was painted white and the top drawers pull out and used to plant various flowers and some ivy. It looked beautiful!

I would like to see a photo of this if anybody has one. Thanks.
Ohh, can you just picture how ethereal that could look in the right setting? Dang, I wish you had a picture 'cuz now I want to try doing it!
Sounds great; you could pull out the drawers a little and slip in a window box liner to plant in, leaving the drawers kind of staggered. Pull the bottom one almost all the way out, the middle one out about half way, and the top one just a little, like the depth of the window box liner if the dresser is big enough.
Google "dresser made into a planter" I saw some real cute ideas! Would have never thought to do this but I love it!
I used those dresser drawer for my plant 2 year ago that I gotten on the side of the road some one was throwing away, and they fell apart once wet, so you may want to wrap duct tape around it a couple of times before using it.
Here's some ideas for an old dresser>make a bench, bookcase, storage unit for baskets, vanity, desk, kitchen island, tv stand, garden station for your projects..and the planter box: see this site for all photos and info on how to make.... www.addicted2decorating.com/
