The first step is to find a spare wooden dresser drawer. Here in Chicago you find them in the alleys all the time, but you can easily find some spare wooden dresser drawers at your local flea market, flea and tique shop, or Goodwill. Best of all they are so cheap because they have been separated from their dresser!

So, now you need 4 wooden legs. I think legs about 2 to 3 feet tall work well. Really 30 inch legs are my favorite for this Vintage Indoor Garden Planter.

Drill a hole down through the corner of the dresser drawer. One in each corner. Now, use a screw and slip it through each hole and attach the four legs.

Make sure they are level or your Vintage Indoor Garden Planter will look off kilter.

Now, go ahead and primer your Vintage Indoor Garden Planter. Let this dry and paint it with some milk paint. Choose a color that matches your home.

You ma want to remove any drawer hardware before you paint, then reinstall them after the paint dries.

Pre drill a few drainage hole sin the bottom of the drawer.

Now, once all the repaint dries in the inside of the vintage wood dresser drawer with your heavy grade plastic. You can find this by the roll at your local home imporvemtn store in the garden section. Typically it is used to line water ponds.

Use a staple gun to adhere this along the top edge all around the vintage dresser drawer.

Use a pencil to poke through the plastic and into the drainage holes you drilled. You can use some epoxy glue to glue the plastic down underneath and hold the plastic in place over the holes.

Let this epoxy glue dry.
