Last night we rolled this home*. A store had tossed it out...
It's huge! It's in great condition. I like the slanty shelves, but easy enough to change. It could be painted...
I was thinking at the time 'maybe we can get it into the basement and put trucks on it'...
Now I am thinking 'what was I thinking?'
If I passed it by, I would forever wish that I at least tried it! Over time, in my imagination, this rack would have morphed into perfect proportions and I would forever regret it.
So...anyone want to help me move it down the stairs?
* my three year old helped push it, I was wearing the baby
ps. It was free! And the rain was finally coming, so we HAD TO rescue it!
It's a good find! Perfect for trucks and I LOVE a freebie project. And yes, you would have built it up to be something amazing. Good decision!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a great find! I think this would be a great spot for shoes :)
ReplyDeleteGreat score! I'm a total curbside diver myself. I actually love the slanty shelves. Can picture doing something artsy with it. Or maybe transforming it into a fancy shoe rack...dammit...now I want one!
ReplyDeleteI don't have that many shoes! I wish!!!
ReplyDeleteMerci!
ReplyDeleteYah, the freebie part is the best part!
this is my first time taking something large from the curbside
ReplyDeletebut this is a nice store, and the shelf was only there for a few hours...it would have been drenched and worthless if I hadn't saved it!
SCORE! Art supplies rack up high for the kids, maybe crayons/ markers /glue etc in nice bins/tubs. Down low the trucks/ cars etc that can be put back by little hands? Jealous cause I do have that many shoes. I totally agree that having your babes push and prod this home was the only *decent* thing to do :)
ReplyDeleteOoh...love this soooooo much Shannon.
ReplyDeleteSmile...I so, would have pushed it home too...endless uses...easily tricked out...what's not to love...
ReplyDeleteI see it painted white...and stocked with all things bathroom, towels, shampoo, little yellow duckies...etc.
The other day I was on the bus (a rare occasion) and out of the window I saw an entire dining room set placed on the trash...UGH! I almost...almost went back for it in my car when I got home...my car is so tiny, I talked myself out of it...
