I removed the back, inner shelves and doors.
Then, I made all of the shelves. Hit it all with my palm sander. Pewwww, was that a job! I gave it two coats of paint. Gray then cream.
Roughed it up with 60 and 100 grit sandpaper. Lugged it into the house and added the back paneling. I took pegs off existing peg board hangers for the side of each locker. I spray painted four miscellaneous metal hooks black for the back of each locker. I've been debating on making doors or a curtain? After a week of peckin at this ol' Girl...Here she is..........
Best Part... the cost of this project was just under $40!!
I only had to buy the baskets.
All of the pine used in this project was prepared by Ronny (Our family friend with Cerebral Palsy). He carefully removes all the knots with his hand tools. Knowing how hard he worked with his limitations, makes the finished project even more special to my family.
On to the next project,

Wow, I think I am good at seeing the potential in pieces but you had your thinking/creative cap on. I am sure you are going to get years of use out of that piece and as you wrote, Ronny was an important player. When I was a girl, we had one of those turkey roasters...clever to use it for drinks. Weren't items made to last back in the day?
