I scored this awesome wood crate at a old Military Surplus store for $10!!
Wheels at my local Menards.
Flip the crate upside down. And screw wheels into place!
And Voila!
Our little people that come visit have a toy box!!
Here are a few custom crates I have made for some friends!
This HD crate is gonna be used as a Magazine Holder
And these crates are on front porches!
FABULOUS idea! Love it! Of course we are always looking for places to hide the toys but you went beyond that and found a piece that has meaning and is very nice to look at! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU! My kids aren't so little anymore, but we sure needed something for the niece and nephews toys! I love being an aunt!!
DeleteThanks-Shelly
Very cute! I love crates, and such a great price on wheels! Perfect toy box!!
ReplyDeleteYeah I thought so too! Online you can purchase something similar for close to $100. I'm way too cheap and creative, I knew I could do it cheaper! Thanks for stopping!

ooh, great idea! something like that would look good in my 11 year old DS's room....he thinks he's too old for toys, but I bet he could find something to put in it :)
ReplyDeleteSo easy and simple! Thanks for commenting and stopping by!
DeleteGreat idea, love the look. I'd like to make it into a great coffee table or side table and you have storage also.
ReplyDeleteSky's the limit with the ideas on this one! Thanks for looking!
