Crates, lockers and drawers…oh my. All of your local flea market staples.

Crates: Are you looking for some creative toy storage? Add some rollers to a crate to give it a unique look, while adding an  easy way to quickly move  clutter in a jiffy.  No closet in your bathroom? Well,  Ikea isn’t the only  go to place for inexpensive storage solutions…try a more unique fix with some stacked  crates from your local flea market or antique store.

Lockers: Give some old  lockers a fresh coat of paint and create a retro inspired storage solution…awesome  for children’s rooms. Do you have a dull area in a room that needs some, wow? Try adding some stainless steel lockers for a fun vintage look . My favorite lockers are the baskets placed on the recycled industrial shelving. They’re truly the crown and glory in the re-purposed kitchen…love it.

Drawers: Have you  driven past an old dresser on the side of the road lately? Well, you might give your next drive by a closer look…it’s all about the drawers. Place a favorite fabric, wallpaper or paper on the bottom of  each drawer, verticely stack away and you’ll have a beautiful one of a kind storage unit. You can also try adding some feet to a large drawer, stack the drawers in a staggered pattern, add any extra blankets/or pillows to the top drawer for padding and cover them all up with your favorite blanket to complete your bench… storage and seating all it one.
