Old Bassinet Upcycle

Since the base has been closed due to the large amounts of snow we have recently gotten... Nick has been working on his latest project. We got an old bassinet at my dad's auction when we were back home this fall (similar to the picture shown here, only ours was much more OLD SCHOOL looking) and we (meaning Nick) took it apart and turned it into:

I painted it yesterday and once it was dry, we moved it inside to the area at the top of our basement steps, near the back door.
He even made an open bench to store the kids snow apparel. Like gloves, hats, scarves...
Trevor and Addison helped transfer the loot from the old winter tote, to the new bench this morning!

Love it! What talent and great idea. I want one of those too....you can just ship it with the other shelf unit. :p Very nice. (Must be hard work moving scarves & gloves. See Addison had to take time out for a drink)
