    I have a drawer i want to repaint... The thing is, I don't know how. I thought about painting it in one colour - maybe purple. But I'm not sure. I want to make something different out of it.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Peace :)

    the color doesn't matter: what material is on the outside?
    If it is wood with paint or varnish, that'll be easy enough.
    If it has some laminate, that can be tough.
    What's on the surface?

    Well i have already polished the surface with sandpaper and after that I painted it white. I just thought that someone maybe had any cool ideas on what to paint on it.

    Thanks anyway :)

    I say different colours :D Or one colour with some other colours added on... Maybe some pretty flowers on one side.

    Purple is a cool colour. That would work.

    Do what you feel like doing with it! If it turns out horrible (bet it won't), you can always re-paint it.
