About 3 weeks ago I visited a small industrial complex on the outskirts of Durbanville. I stumbled upon (literally) this old wooden crate where it was waiting for me lying outside a Church Organ Repairers workshop.
It had the most awkward dimensions (4.1m x 20cm x 20cm) but I immediately knew I could find a useful spot for it. Apparently it was originally used to ship parts for church organs and it seems quite vintage.
This one had to get out of the garage quickly so last weekend I stabilised it with some 50 screws, lightly sanded it and then added 3 bars of threaded rod to further support the opening and stop it from gaping open in the middle.
It was perfect for the boys’ room. They need some shelving and it fits in with less than 10cms to spare on either side.
We put it up and what a transformation!
Now they just need real beds which will also allow them to reach the shelf and do their own arrangements of toys, but that is a post for another day.
