toy box on wheels
September 20th, 2011
Remember these crates I found in the garbage? I cleaned them up and we slapped some wheels on the good ones this past weekend. Et volia! Toy boxes with wheels. Not my idea and not even the first time I’ve done it, but it is still awesome. Blocks are heavy and a pain to drag out, but no longer! All thanks to the almighty wheel.

These are wonderful!
I love old wooden crates!
(we have the same rug… good ole Ikea!)
Great upcycling idea!
high five!
this might be the best comment I’ve ever got. :)
Ah-hah!!!!! Someone else in the world uses sheep skins on their furniture!!! And I thought I was the only one…..
Aren’t they awesome? We try to buy one every-other year or so (as our family grows every-other year or so :)
you and me and all of sweden!
Ah, I love those.
Oh, you are the most clever of all. Well done.
Awesome use of someone else’s castoffs. Someone recently told me how depressing it was to be in Madison on “hippie christmas” day. (Meg, you might have to describe that for some of your readers.) I couldn’t relate at all–and thought about all the excellent recycling and upcycling (what a great word I hadn’t heard before!) they’re missing out on.
What a great idea!
What the hell is Hippie Christmas Day? Please explain, Meg. Also, the boxes on wheels are wonderful–more so for how low-tech they are.
It’s the day when all the college students move out/move in before school starts in the fall. Garbage piles taller than me. It’s ridiculous really, but a trash pickers dream.
I’d put everything on wheels if I could! It’s perfect for those of us living in small spaces.
too funny. we’ve two enormous old crates (one sunny slope carolina peaches, the other some booze brand, oh well) full of blocks, also. no nifty wheels, though.
btw, how do you like them rugs? tried a flat woven one, love the look, but was constantly tripping over them and rumpling the bejeebers out of them, rug pad or no. could be the clumsy feet.
