I've been wanting a nice way to store tea and coffee for ages and when I rediscovered these wooden chests of drawers at the bottom of a cupboard, I realised they'd be perfect for the job.

Description

I've been wanting a nice way to store tea and coffee for ages and when I rediscovered these wooden chests of drawers at the bottom of a cupboard, I realised they'd be perfect for the job.

Instructions

  1. Small 108017 2f2015 03 16 204041 img 2867

    Find an old chest with the right size of drawers for tea and coffee. We got these at Ikea years and years ago and they were starting to look a bit beaten up.

  2. Small 108017 2f2015 03 16 204129 img 2868

    Paint each drawer with a layer of chalkboard paint.

  3. Small 108017 2f2015 03 16 204641 img 2869

    Leave to dry and then add bubble beads to each drawer if you like. Bubble beads were one of the first projects I ever posted on CO+K - http://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/bubble_beads_2

  4. Small 108017 2f2015 03 19 053429 img 2870

    Fill each drawer with bags of tea and coffee, labeling with a chalk pen as you go.

  5. Small 108017 2f2015 03 19 053441 img 2881

    All done!
