So my dad called us yesterday morning to ask if we might have any use for some lockers, like you use in school. I said "YES" because I love pretty much anything I can use for storage. His company was getting rid of some and let the employees take them. Ours kind of look like this:
. . . except the bottoms do not have feet; they are flush with the floor. Oh, and they are not this nice shade of blue, they are MAROON. There's a color I will never decorate with -- talk about the '80's. (Apologies here to anyone who loves maroon. It's just not my thing.) So they will be getting painted.
I posted a question on facebook to see what other people would use these lockers for in a playroom, and here are the results so far.
-- dress-up clothes
-- art supplies
-- awkward-shaped toys
-- books and puzzles
I like all of these ideas, but as usual I have thought of something completely over the top that we probably can't/won't do. I was thinking . . . what if we cut out the back of one of them and made it a secret doorway into a hidden room?! How fun would that be? I'd probably get stuck trying to show the kids, knowing my luck. :) Anyway . . . there are some serious possibilites!
