How cool are these orange recycled school lockers? My oldest son gave these to me for Mother's Day. You're probably thinking, "You got used lockers for Mother's Day??" Yes I did and when I saw them I was very excited as I had priced new ones and they were definitely not in my budget. You can find used lockers on Craigslist, flea markets and sometimes at yard sales at a price that someone other than Bill Gates could afford.
I loved the original color so the bathroom was decorated to accommodate this bright orange. One side of the lockers had to be painted so thank goodness that Rustoleum has a spray paint this color, a happy coincidence for us! Really wondering how much of this color they sell?
Another example of reusing and recycling is the old gate hanging on the outside of the clubhouse and the chairs in front, which were made from scrap wood that would have been thrown away.
Repurpose idea - the Ikea hooks are a made from a rubbery material and were put up on the wall to be used as a stop so the locker doors did not hit the wall. A duel purpose hook! Sometimes you have to think outside of the box to get an attractive end product - those door stops that they sell commercially were really ugly and I didn't want them to be the first thing you saw when you opened the door. Orange must have been the color this year as I picked the wall decor up at Craft Warehouse.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteThis is really cute. How big is the structure? I see a sink area, is there a toilet in there also? I, too, plan on building a small structure in my backyard, as a pool cabana/bathroom. This is really cute! :)
