\"underbed-storage-box-clothes\"

Fall is here at last. And with great optimism, I recently started the task of pulling my warm-weather clothing out of hibernation. Unfortunately, when I dragged the overstuffed storage bags out from underneath my bed, they ripped wide open. Lovely.<\/p>\n

After going through this every six months for longer than I can remember, I’d just about had it. I decided I needed to find a creative, durable, low-cost solution. What did I come up with? A DIY under-bed storage. Yes, a real box made of wood and lined with cedar, which provides excellent protection against moths, mildew, and mustiness. On the sides, I attached rope handles and on the bottom, a set of wheels. That way, the box is easy to slide back and forth, even on my carpeting.<\/p>\n

While the list of materials is long and may seem daunting, this project isn’t too complicated. But it does require an extra pair of hands. And as with most projects, you learn by doing. So, instead of having you screw the bottom frame, I am suggesting it be glued and tacked in place.<\/p>\n
