Metal Locker Bins

Last Friday, while at the auction, I found a small pile of metal baskets.  I was able to get them for $4!  There were several different ones including one from a gym locker.  One has a handle and was long and narrow.

The other one is, I think, a freezer basket but I love the blue patina on it so it’s a keeper.

Now back to my favorite, the locker bin!  I was telling Hunter how much I loved the look of it in my office, he told me our neighbor across the street has a whole stack of them in his barn!  Gasp!!  I immediately has visions of lining my shelves with them like in this picture from Country Living.

or this from Snapshots {of a good life}.

Hunter was actually working on our neighbor’s tractor so was able to do a little bartering and brought me home a sweet surprise!

Oh yeah! Mama was happy!  I have such a sweet boy!  Ooops, young man!

Our neighbor said they came from an old bowling alley.

They are longer than my other little bin so they won’t quite work the way I imagined but they will go in my office.  Now I have to get busy and try to clean them up!  That’s what the wire brush is for!  Oh, let me show you one of Hunter’s finds he got from the auction.

A cute little record player!  The needle arm part is broke but if there’s a way to fix it, he will!

Thanks for stopping by!
