how things were built

 this is the frame of the smelly chest of drawers I took apart to create shelving. I am going to use it somewhere somehow but have to figure out how to cut it in half first. 

This is the shelf made out of 5 drawers,  2 in the middle are sitting vertically. 

this is the back of the dresser, it was held together with little pieces of hand carved wood, or dowels. I had to take a picture to remind myself of the craftmanship.

I picked up a can of yellow eco paint, half price but I am not quite sure of the texture...a bit runny but I will try anything once.
