This weekend I finished my latest trash to treasure project: a repurposed book caddy that will be used in our gameroom. It’s just the right size for holding smaller board books and picture books like the kind my little ones read. I upcycled this book caddy from a table I grabbed from someone’s curbside trash pile and it’s one of my favorite trash to treasure projects to date!
I removed the legs from the table and gave the whole thing a really good wash …
… then painted it bright orange using DIY chalky finish paint {I made the chalk finish paint from an old paint sample I bought for fifty cents, making this a super cheap project all round}.
I added casters that I bought {cheaply} at ReStore so the caddy can be scooted around the room and turned around to look at the books on it.
This repurposed book caddy is a fun new addition to the little reading nook in our gameroom. The kids can curl up on a cushion and read a book or practice their spelling with the magnetic letter board.
The caddy turns easily on the casters so the kids can access books on every side or even wheel it to another area.
I’m so happy with the way this trash to treasure repurposed book caddy turned out! It’s such a fun and practical addition to our room and a great way to keep books organized and easy to view.
Want to see some of my other trash to treasure projects?
I repurposed an old vintage ladder into a towel rack by the pool …
… turned a cabinet door into a chalkboard …
What a transformation. Looks great in this room. I am hosting a new link party and would love it if you would link up.
