    Default What to do when your son wants to be in the garage all the time

    Bring a bit of the garage to his bedroom.



    Years ago my mother bought this dresser when I was born. We've had it in my son's room since he was born 3 yrs ago. Since he's such a car nut, I wanted to dress it up a bit. I primed and painted. Then I used some u-channel aluminum to make the handles, which I took a wire wheel to give it a brushed aluminum look. An aluminum door threshold became a kick plate. Took one of the "Craftsman" badges from my tool box to complete the look. I'm pretty happy with the results. Just need to get some stickers.

    That is such a brilliant idea!

    I'd like to bet a few forum members would like a dresser like that in their own rooms, let alone their kids room!

    Thought it was a new tool chest. Well done
