Those of us who are parents know that storage comes at a premium so it’s important to use every nook and cranny at your disposal to the max. Case in point; under the bed is not just for dust bunnies, lost socks, or even hiding anymore. It’s wasted space that, if used wisely, can serve as ample extra storage – especially in the kid’s room! I repurposed an old spare drawer into a storage bin on wheels. It fits perfectly under the bed and is easily accessible, even for the tiniest of hands.
This vintage-looking, DIY repurposed drawer didn’t start so much as ‘vintage’ as it did ‘old’ and definitely dated. When I turned the dresser into an entertainment center, I stored this extra drawer in the garage, hoping to give it life again on some other DIY project later on. The perfect revival would be in my son’s room where with his endless amount of toys and clothes, there is never enough storage.

I LOVE that idea! It’s great for singles living in urban apartments too! :). Hope to find some drawers on the curb this weekend.
