DIY Toy Storage

Okay, full disclaimer, this is completely JUST an idea. I haven’t actually made this myself, but I spotted all these items and thought, this could work. It’s in my “I don’t have time right but later when I do..” mental file. It is just too good of an idea to not share!

It all started when I spotted this gorgeous Crate & Barrel wood bookcase and toy storage and was completely inspired.

I’m forever looking at toy storage ideas, and this toy organizer looks like a fun do-it-yourself project.

The materials to recreate this look are:

I think the trickiest part would be attaching the legs. Depending on the thickness of the particle board on the bottom of the 2-compartment bins, extra reinforcement is likely needed.

Like the inspiration, I would add the wood vinyl only to the backs of the compartment bins. I also like the idea of using other patterns to add color to the back of the bins.

Of course any of the supplies for this DIY can be replaced by look-alikes or materials you have on hand. I think the fun of do-it-yourself projects is being creative with materials you have on hand or find at local stores.

So, would you make this or just buy the original? Oh, and please please please, post your results in the comments if you tackle this DIY!
