I have a couple of type drawers too. Mine were in such bad shape I had to add wood putty in places and then paint them. They hold various sundry items in my sewing room.

What a great idea for using a type drawer. I have one that came from the print shop of our hometown weekly newspaper, that was owned and operated by my first husband's family, and it's just leaning up on a cabinet in the office, holding nothing. Now I know what to do with it.
