locker recycle/up cycle


 LOCKER GETS A LITTLE TLC

#RECYCLE/UP-CYCLE






I totally dismantled this locker. I removed the top and the base. I then cut the sides and back just below the drawer.












dropping the drawer down onto the base reducing the height.










I added 4 castors to the base.








Next step was to remove the drawer front and upholster in this fab wool tartan.









put back on the top, used a little tech 7 instead of wood glue. (currently obsessed with this product)






the original locker had a nifty little pull out panel that I didn't even know existed until I dismantled the piece as it was totally swelled and stuck. a quick plane on the sides and it ran freely.





I added a 2" topper as a finishing touch to what is now a footstool.








A great little extra seat or footstool with a handy pull out table. a little extra storage with the drawer, an added bonus.
