Look What I Found For $5 For William’s Bedroom
Inspired by the whole industrial vintage look and many talented peoples’ DIY projects, I have been on the hunt for a vintage wooden crate to use as a toy bin in William’s “new” bedroom. Here is some lovely inspiration.
Via Komma Hem
Via Lisaroy.
I have been looking for a while and was getting ready to buy one on E-bay (for about $50 + shipping) when I stumbled upon this beauty at a local garage sale. I paid $5 and could not believe my luck! A good clean and four casters (from Home Depot at $4.98/each) and we are in business! (And this one is all about Lucerne Milk and not wine or hard liquor. A more appropriate message for a 3 year old!).
Prince William will soon get his own cool, rolling toy bin!
The room is now painted and I am getting ready to pull it all together. Now the fun begins! More on the progress soon.
Warm hugs to you all.

Wonderful find Mon! Love it!!
I can’t wait to see the finished room. I know it will be fantastic!!
My kids have wine boxes in their room.. Some of my friends were shocked by that, but I think it’s quirky. A Bordeaux box full of lego, a Chablis box of dolls clothes..

What a lovely find! Just be careful with the choice of your casters if there’s a wooden floor in the room. We just picked some cheap ones with hard plastic rolls and they made irreversible scratches in our hard wood floor
The slightly bigger rolls made off rubber are much more appropriate for a wooden floor.

Oh! I love this idea Mon! That’s so awesome that you found it at a local garage sale! I haven’t been to one of those in ages. I don’t think Italians even know what that is. I can’t wait to see William’s room!
Thanks for popping by. You’re such a sweety. I’ve been so swamped and stressed with work that I’m trying to keep it together at the home front (and I don’t even have any kids)
). Charlotte from down under says a big hello to you too!
Big love!! p.s. I hope you had a nice Valentine’s Day yesterday. I was so busy yesterday that I completely forgot. I wonder if that makes my husband a lucky guy? xoxo
