Repurposed Office Organizer with Succulent Planter

It’s Wednesday which means it’s time for some more DIY goodness!  Today I’m showing you another repurpose of my old jewelry box parts.  I decided to turn this part into an office organizer with a bonus planter top.  Now I’ll have some greenery to liven up my office/entry.  Yeah, my “office” is in my front door entry area!

The Monthly Roundup ~ March 2017
