My business partner Ann shows you how to bring art to your storage
Although I am a cheerfully disorganized mess most of the time, I really adore getting organized. Fabric drawers are great for that, because they store and conceal, simultaneously.

The very best thing about fabric drawers, however, is that they can serve a third purpose: They can be your canvas! True story! With a big bottle of gesso at your side, you can create art that doubles as storage!

Step 1
Decide which drawer most desperately needs decoration and empty it.
Step 2
Apply at least three coats of gesso. The fabric may seem to you to be sucking up the gesso like a strawberry shake. That's okay. You will get total coverage. Believe in yourself.
Step 3
Plan and paint your "canvas," just as you would any other, keeping in mind that your first two to three layers may take slightly longer to dry than usual.
Step 4
When your masterpiece is finished and dry, fill it back up with your secret stash of garden gnomes!
