Distractions
I am so easily distracted by the mundane. Although I have plenty of projects that I should be doing, I always seem to find something to keep me from my work.
I stepped into the garage and spied an ugly, dirt-encrusted, wooden box. It had thirty tiny drawers and it was covered in lacy spider webs. Those spider webs looked like jewels! Aha! An idea formed itself in my pea brain. I cleaned that wooden box and oiled it with lemon oil. I removed the horrible rusty wire drawer pulls that were on it. I don't have enough of the "crystal" drawer pulls, but I might use large earrings as drawer pulls (if I can figure out how to do it). After popping some jewelry into the box, I think I have a new use for it! The five cats should have a great time unloading this!

A craft shop like Michaels or hardware like Loew's should have more of those drawer pulls. It does look lovely refurbished.

Thanks, Jamie. I'm thinking I'll try the antique mall/junk store first to see if I can find something similar. It might be cool with several different kinds of pulls on it. I've looked at using buttons, but I don't think they would hold up well.
