LOVE MY LOCKERS!
On the same trip we found our Cotton Mill Cart we found 2 sets of lockers. They wanted $10 each! I gladly paid that and couldn't wait to get them home and put them to use. When we got them home one of the lockers had a lock on it and we broke the lock...felt like we were treasure hunters..we couldn't wait to see what was inside. We opened it up and found..........RIVETS, a coffee can, a mug and some old packs of crackers..oh well. It was more like Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's vault than a treasure hunt..:)
Anyway after cleaning one set I painted them Satin Nickle to match the fixtures in the house. It turned out GREAT! It took several months and into the summer to finally tackle the second set, but I finally did! I did the same thing, cleaned and spray painted.
We then attached them to some extra slats of hardwood (we didn't want to scratch the new floors) and then put some felt on the bottom. We attched them to each other and adjusted the doors. Some are one door tall and others are two doors tall for larger items.
We use these for so many things!! Our boy's book bags, Scout supplies, Dog/Cat supplies, blankets, pillows, coolers and homework supplies. This weekend I hope to get my cutter out and make some numbers for them so we can make a list of what is in each one...right now we open 3-5 lockers to find what we are looking for and the noise is getting a bit aggravating. ;)
So for a total of less than $50 we have a really neat set of lockers form the historic cotton mill down the street.
