DIY: Picnic Basket turned Rolling Table

So, I have this old picnic basket that was my grannie's. 

I love it. 

Its old and special. 

Now, as much as I would like to think that I will load up that picnic basket multiple times and frolic through woods and parks to have a picnic with my man and the Boog Boog, 

I won't. 

So, I made the basket more useful. I turned it into a table. 

A table with wheels. Now, it's a versatile picnic basket.

This is how it started out:

Your average vintage picnic basket. It has a lid, I had just already taken it off. I wanted to elevate it a bit more and make it easily movable, so I added some wheels I had laying around.

The original bottom was not white beadboard. The old one had rotted out. This was its replacement.

And the after:

 

 

The best thing is I can still use it as a picnic basket when we do take a picnic, the wheels won't interfere! In fact, I may just tie a string to it and pull the damn thing. 

Its also great for storage.

It fits snugly between two chairs in the living room. 

It is happy. I am happy. Grannie is happy. 

All is well in the world.
