in the entranceway to our family room. Originally we used this wooden 3-section
coat locker.
It served it's purpose for many years for the kids' coats, back packs, winter
gear, etc. But with the arrival of a new couch it was time to make some
changes. You know the drill: one new thing leads to another and so on.
So, out with the lockers and in with a different storage unit that the whole family
can use. It's not new to us, but it's new in this room. It's previous life was as a
wall unit in the kids' playroom in the basement. As much as I loved it down there,
it really wasn't seeing much use so it seemed the perfect piece for relocation.
I also looked all over for baskets or wire bins to put in the cubbies of this storage
unit, but I just haven't found anything I like as much as some baskets and burlap
buckets I already have. On that note, I'm now trying to decide which of the two
types of number tags to use on the baskets. One type of tag is a cardboard
chalkboard tag that I stenciled the numbers on, and the other tags are
preprinted paper tags from Ikea.
I'm sharing two examples of each.
You decide.
Chalkboard tag
or
Paper tag
and
Chalkboard tag
or
Paper tag
The chalkboard tags were 4 for $1.00 at Target, and the Ikea paper tags (that I
used as Christmas ornaments) were very inexpensive as well. I really do like
them both, but I think I've decided on my favorite after working on this post.
That, however, shall remain a secret, as will the full details of the transformation
until I do the final reveal.
Which ones would YOU choose?
Accessories are also coming together.
I still have to work on the opposite wall where Mr. CBD has just hung a refurbished
old mirror-turned-coat-rack underneath which we placed my DIY painted storage bench.
The pieces taken together as a whole really make a mod vintage mix that I'm coming
to appreciate and enjoy. But details are still being worked out, so stay tuned.

I am a chalkboard fanatic but for this I really like the paper tags the best. Can't wait to see how it all turns out. Cathy
Super cute! I like the chalkboard tags :)
Great baskets! I like the chalkboard tags best.
I like the chalkboard option!
I like the paper ones :)
If I had to make a decision right now it would be the preprinted hanging ones. Been working on taxes, so brain is too rattled right now to make decisions. :)
Enjoy the weekend.
I love the black paper reinforcers on the white tags so they get my vote.
