We are at the end stages of a big kitchen renovation but before that started, we were busy in January finishing up some projects that were waiting on us.

First up was my locker re-do.  I have been on the hunt for old school lockers that we could use in our mudroom.  In December, I happened across a vintage store about two hours from home that had these old uniform lockers for $50 each!

I snatched up two of these-a total of sixteen small lockers. They were the ugly, boring gray lockers.  Very dirty.  We scrubbed them clean, took off every single lock and started the project.

My new red lockers.  It took about six cans of spray paints and about four primer spray paint cans.  It was worth the time it would have taken to hand roll all of these.

They fit perfectly in our mudroom!

I added our old cubbies for purse storage and some other minor things.  We had to get a step stool for the boys who couldn’t quite make it to hang their jackets.  Oh yeah, each locker has a rod to hang coats!  What!?  These were well worth the time and money we put in to them.  All shoes are organized and jackets are in their place.  When we get back in to minor repairs and updates, we’ll get the painting done from where we had hooks hanging up.
