soooo…. for the past 3 years I have been in classrooms with ample amount of storage. I had a whole wall of cabinets when I taught High School ART, and for the past two years while I taught 4th grade MATH/ SCIENCE and WRITING I had a wall of lockers (and all the space above them, and 2 huge cabinets.
Now I am at a charter school that doesn’t have much storage. In fact, I have ONE cabinet…. ONE. Just so yall know… I have taught 5 years, and each year it’s been a different subject… so I have a ton of stuff!!! But I am going to look at the bright side about this (as my friend Lindsey would say “Leslie– you poop rainbows” ). It gives me a chance to go on the hunt and get crafty- which I don’t seem to do as much as I should, considering I was an ART major.
So yesterday I scoured the town (garage sales) for anything that I could use as storage. Low and behold I came across an awesome cart for $5.00 . AND it has wheels…AND the wheels have locks… AND it moves smoothly!!! Woohoo!!! Only thing is—- its pretty ugly…
So today I broke out the spray praint, spent less than $5.00 at Hobby Lobby on scrapbook school paper, and used some modge podge glue which I already had. So far I have spent less than $10 on this cart… After some good ole T-L-C this is a pic of the finished product
And here is a close up of the papers I used. I bought 2 of each sheet which was more than enough.
I think I’ll store science items on it, but I’m not sure yet. Looking forward to next week…. I think I am going to decorate some composition notebooks that I saw on a friends FB.
