CUBIC CASTLES HACK TOO INSTALL

Not only does it have a big work surface, but you can also keep your crafting supplies right where you need them! Instead of tossing out your 2017 calendar, why not repurpose all those cute pages? Continue Reading Moveable Craft Tableįamily Handyman used three 2×2 storage cubes to create an incredible rolling craft table. Kim from Six2Eleven used a storage cube to create more storage in her laundry room, as well as a tabletop surface for folding clothes. There’s room to store jewelry, books, slippers, and all the other things that tend to pile up near the bed. I never would have thought to use one as a night stand, but I am loving how it looks in this room. This one isn’t so much a transformation as it is just a clever way to use a storage cube.

There are so many great project ideas out there for transforming storage cubes! Here are a few of my favorites, which will hopefully inspire you and your own creations! My only regret is that I didn’t do it a long time ago! :-)īritta’s project is only the tip of the iceberg. It has totally brightened up that corner of our living room, and it looks so much more put together now that the audio receiver fits into it comfortable, rather than being perched precariously on one of the speakers. I am so happy with how my storage cube transformation turned out. The whole process took me maybe ten minutes! All I had to do was position the plates on the 4 corners of the bottom of my storage cube, use my power drill to screw the plates down, then screw the legs I had painted into each of the plates.

The most surprising part of this process, for me, was how easy it was to install the legs onto my storage cube! I bought four 6-inch furniture legs at Home Depot, as well as four sets of the plates they attach to. Great balls of flavor! It's so much more than just cake! Continue Reading I love that most home improvement stores now offer small paint samples, because they’re perfect for smaller projects like this! The only drawback of samples is they generally only come in one finish, so if you are looking for a glossier look, you’ll probably have to commit to at least a quart of paint. I knew I wanted the legs to be a different, bright color, so I also purchased a small, 8 ounce sample of the BEHR Marquee paint in a bright green called Rockwall Vine. Just for the record, the BEHR Marquee paint covered the primer so well, I didn’t even need a second coat, just a couple of touch ups here and there! After putting on a quick coat of my favorite Zinnser primer (the same one I raved about in my post about updating laminate furniture), I used a roller brush to apply the paint to my storage cube. I chose a quart of BEHR Marquee paint in a light gray color called Tin Foil. I sanded them a little to make sure they were smooth and as inconspicuous as possible, then I put the top back on and screwed it down. I used a rubber mallet to sink the dowels in as far as they would go, then I used a knife to cut the dowels so they were level with the surface of the shelf.

So rather than pull those out and risk the whole thing falling apart, I cut them instead. However, there were a few dowels at the connection point that I realized were holding the bottom divider in place as well. I started by unscrewing the top of the storage cube, and pulling out the divider that I didn’t want anymore. I also thought I’d spruce it up a bit with some paint, and install some legs! However, we recently got a new, slightly bigger record player, and we were no longer able to fit both the player and our audio receiver on top, like we had been.Ī few days ago I had a sudden flash of inspiration – what if I took one of the dividers out of the top row of the storage cube? Then we could put the record player on top, the receiver in the new expanded area, and then our records in the bottom cubes. I’ve had this 2×2 storage cube from IKEA for a couple of years now, and it has always served as both a stand for our record player, and a place to store our record collection.
