Locker (DIY)

Life really gets in the way of extracurricular activities sometimes.  Not only that, but I was hoping to reach my goal of not posting anything on here for 3 months.  That excuse works, so I'm going with it.

Lockers have been all the rage in home interior as of late.  I was lucky enough to get my hands on a stack thanks to dads handy trade-work.  There is no shortage of lockers in this world (gyms, schools, offices, stores, I mean like everywhere guys).  Even with the abundance of lockers, these suckers come with a hefty price tag.  On average, a single unit "Craigslist" locker will cost you around 250. The possibilities are obviously endless, so owning a few of these is equivalent to owning gold... except your gold has storage.



My locker was pretty well loved, or hated.  Guaranteed the dents are evidence of round-house kicks (retail workers).

When I started, the locker was tan and the doors were held shut with blue painters tape.  I liked the color of the tape and didn't want to put too much effort into thinking about the color... so I just went with it.  After all, blue is so inspirational...

The locker was cleaned and buffed with some Noxon polish and rags.  Once that was done, I grabbed some fast drying -- talking 15 minutes here -- heavy duty 2 in 1 Safety Blue Rust-oleum spray paint. Three cans later, the locker looked cerulean.  

 

This locker now serves as being the catch-all for thirty decades of video games.  Can't say it's complaining.



If you can't find me, I'll be hanging out by my locker taping up pictures of Leo DiCaprio and Norman Reedus.  OMG.  TTYL.
