Default Awesome repurposed find!

I'm the queen of upcyccled and repurposed storage. I've posted pics most of my storage on different threads.

I stopped at an estate sale before work the other day and came across this cute mini tool chest in almost perfect condition for $20.00!

I'm using it for my paper pumpkin supplies. I just love it. I love metal in decor, vintage metal items (see small metal drawer on top-I'm sure its from the 50's or 60's-got it at a vintage sale), and this is also special because my dad was a mechanic.

I know this wouldn't be everyone's type of storage, but I love it.

I'm thinking I can put cute magnets on it too. I'm excited!

Oh crud! My iPad has been posting things on their side. I can't figure how to fix that.

Very nice! You found a really good bargain there for $20.00! I love the red color, too!

I *might* be moving again for my job in the next few months ... if that ends up happening, I probably should invest in that workbench since I'm going to have to downsize from a 2 br apartment to a 1 br.

That workbench has been a godsend, truly! It's the right height to stand (I have a short desk to the right of it where I sit to color), the drawers were designed for tools so they can handle the weight of punches just fine, and the pegboard is handy for a bizillion things! I took the bottom shelf out and also removed the front support for it so that I could roll the file cart that handles all of my dp underneath. I also have three Iris file boxes of seasonal/overflow under there...

Keep an eye out - it goes on sale frequently for about $89. Also, check Harbor Freight for the pegs and baskets for the pegboard - MUCH cheaper than other places.

Thanks for the "heads up" on the workbench going on sale, Sue!
