Oh I like that idea! In fact I LOVE it! Make sure to share pix when it's in place.

I love lockers as decor and storage units. I think they would work in any of the places you mention. Those are great inspirational pictures you can share with your family and maybe you can all vote on the location that would be best in your home.

Mmmm...I vote the boy's room. Sorry, I remember your kitchen & I guess I just can't picture working in there. But I really do like it in the bedrooms!

better..is it because it's so cookie cutter, and takes itself too serious? lol.
I'm hoping after I put some glass fronts in the cabinets, paint, and add some more color in there. It'll be the piece in there that will really add some character.
We shall see :)

If I read it correctly you have 2 units? If so I vote for one in the kitchen and one in the boys room. Fabulous and fun....good for you!

WONDERFUL !! See zipdees post as she has those wonderful green painted cabs that she found. Also Maddie used to post here and did lockers in her kitchen...you can do a search maybe someone will remember her whole name.

trail, I just looked up zipdee's post. LOVE that green!!

ponder, and yep..two the same size. 3 over 3.
I can't wait to mess with them!

very cool, great for a pantry!! I've got CL envy ;) and for $60 for TWO, that's a great deal. Cant wait to see them in place, be sure to post a follow up!

rjinga, I was prepared to pay $60 for each. Crazy, I know! But, I just loved them right away. Dh brought $120, because the ad wasn't very clear, and my email exchange with the seller wasn't, either.
Dh isn't quite feeling them as a pantry right now. But, he'll get over it, lol.

Those are very cool. Just thinking this through, would you add shelves inside the lockers if you are going to use it as a pantry? Is that easy to do?

To get a better feeling of if it will work in the kitchen, you can always wash one up and put it in your kitchen and see what you think.

Love the "thinking outside the box"!

Yea, we'll have to put some kind of shelving in it for sure. How? Well, gonna leave that up to dh to figure out :) He says it can be done. Right now we've got those baskets on that little console that boys keep their pens, and paper for drawing. Little reminders from school, etc. It gets full and becomes a mess pretty quick. Add a few rubber snakes, baseball gloves. You get the picture. That, and they drop their backpacks and jackets on the floor in front of the window there.
I'm not opposed to putting a locker there, adding some shelves so they still have a little box or something. And storage for backpacks and jackets. We have a laundry room off the garage, but nothing big enough for this.

But, yea..I think you're right about just putting one in there. Seeing if it's even the right "feel" for the space.

Ran across this at ShelterPop this afternoon. Thought of you. :D

Here is a link that might be useful: Lockers Aren't Just For School - ShelterPop

Fantastic idea. I would never have thought of that. And, as said before, you have two to use however you want.

allison, cool..thanks for the link. I need to arm myself with as much as I can to defend my idea to dh :)

Oh yes, it was maddiemom or maddie'smom maybe? She did her main bank of cabs out of old lockers - it was great. Good find.
