Some of my favorite DIY projects have been the ones I’ve repurposed. When I spotted this ammo box at a local antique mall I knew I had to have it. Thankfully, the dealer not only had one, but three!
I purchased 3 of them and had different plans for them but after making a table with one, I knew I wanted more. This was a really simple project that I actually completed before having a blog and unfortunately did not take pictures of the process!
All I did was make a quick run to Home Depot and purchase some metal posts and the round attachments. I screwed the base on the underside of the box and then attached the legs!

Leg Flange 3/4 inch metal flange

I love that these little tables serve more than one purpose. The top lids obviously open, providing more storage space.

Have you ever repurposed anything? If so, which project has been your favorite?
Another quick DIY upcycle project I worked on a few months ago was this footboard turned coat rack!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

October 7, 2017 at 5:50 amI love this idea Laura and the legs are the best. We’ve started seeing more and more ammo boxes here in South Africa and it’s great to know that they can be turned into something that looks so lovely.
