Industrial Drawer with Brass Pull

"As much as I love glamour, I like interest, too. This antique drawer will look fabulous on top of the buffet. Line with plastic, like a heavy garbage bag cut to size to prevent dirt spillage, and pop in some plants. Wheat grass would be lovely. Not up for potted plants, grab a few low square vases and fill them with one color of peonies or roses. Anything orange is right on point. Place your creation at an angle on the arched doorway side of the buffet," states Watkins.
