This piece was inspired by Shelly Hickox, she made a beautiful chest of drawers. I wanted to make something similar, but different! I wanted to just have a few drawers to add little trinkets or candy for
the grandchildren to find. A soft glow from a battery operated candle would add a final touch that I was looking for.
Here’s what you need:
