Last night I moved everything off this shelf...
So I could move it into the living room...
And make room for these bad boys in the office. We bought this set of lockers from our school-district-maintenance-man neighbor for 15 doll hairs. Score! I was expecting him to say $200 when I asked how much he wanted - I said I would give him $20 and he said "for $20 I'll deliver them to you". We have such nice neighbors.
Forest is going to paint them this green color, inspired by
these lockers we saw at the Santa Monica Antique Mart.
I liked my craft shelf, but moving things around and re-purposing them is a fun part of the home-decorating process. I would have never thought of putting another piece of furniture in our already small living room, but it actually fills up that area which was previously a big empty wall nicely and adds a little color. I'll post some photos when we get the lockers painted, hopefully this weekend or next week.

omg! I LOVE it!! What a great idea! Can't wait to see how it looks!
And I love the prismatic display of books. You are so talented.
Thanks you two! Vallen, I can't take total credit for the books as I've seen that in other homes..but I have been arranging my closet prismatically for years, so it made sense to do the books the same way.
remember to keep your eye out for my set of lockers.
$15!! Lucky you!
Killer score! Lovin' the color you chose to update them and give them your own style! Can't wait to see the afters.
Smiles,

so cool! Can't wait to see the finished lockers.
LOVE IT! Why can't I think of great things that you come with?! You're so CrAFTY! :)
Do you have photos of the finished locker? I know this post is from eons ago, but we are getting some lockers from DH's work and I would love to see some re-purposed ones for inspiration. Thanks!
Hi Teresa, I do! Here's the link to the image on flickr: http://tinyurl.com/y8rr3wu
Or you can find it in my "home" set if you click on the flickr widget on the right. I bet if you searched on flickr you'd find a bunch - I seem to remember one of the design blogs doing a post on lockers awhile back too. Have fun with yours!
