"S" is for Storage

Underbed storage for the girls:

I designed and built these long bins specifically to fit under the girls bunk beds.

Recently when the girls bunked their beds we were left with a vast open unused space below:

To make the best use of that space I decided rolling storage bins were the answer.

They are 1/2" plywood boxes with wheels attached.

I measured, designed and constructed three boxes to fit the space.
They are long - 40" by 21" wide but not too deep - only 7" - which is good because kids do better with shallow drawers and bins.  Too deep and the clothes only get piled and lost.

I attached five wheels to the underside for easy rolling in and out and the middle wheel helps carry the weight:

In other updates I added wall lights for reading in bed:

And updated their wooden name letters to attach to their beds:

The letters are hanging on hooks so when the girls decide to switch places they can easily switch the letters as well:

The kids room is coming along, about one-third done.

Stay tuned for more updates.
