My husband and I have always liked the look and potential functional use of lockers in home decor. I mentioned in this post that we have been redecorating our living room, and using lockers was a unique storage solution for us.
I was tired of dusting books and vases and pottery and knick-knacky things. I wanted something that could actually be used for storage, but keep items accessible--to make things look a little more put together.
So we found these blue lockers at a local surplus store. Perfect!
Brandon added some simple shelves so we could maximize the locker space. You'll notice that a shelf was not added to one locker--this one will be used for guest coats and purses. In the other spaces, we have our most used gardening/cookbook/travel books, photo albums, candles and blankets.
I love organizing things and coming up with new storage solutions. What are your favorite organization or storage solutions?
This is so smart!
ReplyDeleteI have an old school locker that I use in my basement for misc. exercise equipment…I've always loved it! What a cool idea to use it in your living space, I love the way the books look in them.
