1. A Storage Idea for Laundry

A homemade laundry cart is a perfect storage idea when you have a big family and limited space. Or prefer to keep your darks and lights separate.

Step 1: Cut or get wood from your local hardware store. Measure the space for appropriate measurements. To get a better idea of sizes, check out the original.
Step 2: Stain the wood if desired.
Step 3: Build then attach the top to the base.
Step 4: Add “shelf lips” to help hold the laundry baskets in place.
Step 5: Add back beams for support.
Step 6: Install wheels and a garment hook, for things that don’t go in the dryer.
Note, that while the height of your laundry cart may change based on the number of baskets you’ll use, the measurements provided by Ashman are based on an average-sized laundry basket. Therefore, the height may vary but in most cases, the depth and width should be about the same

This storage idea is astonishingly easy. All it’ll take is a few command strips and an old file box. Furthermore, this trick can work for storing a book or the remote, a drink, and your phone to eliminate the need for a nightstand.
