Storage to Seating

If you are a social butterfly, like many people out there, you may thrive in the atmosphere of hosting get-togethers at your apartment or home. However, two big issues can arise when you are the host of your social group. These are Storage of your belongings and Seating for your many guests. Well luckily if you have extra plastic storage totes sitting around your living space you can create one solution to two problems.

For this project all you will need is two plastic storage bins, a piece of plywood and a quilted bedspread. This project is remarkably simple as all you need to do is put the storage bins end-to-end and place the piece of plywood over them to create a flat surface. After the plywood place the bedspread over the top and either fold it under the storage bins or simply let it hang over the edges and hold it in place with decorative objects or walls. You can even put throw pillows on top of the bedspread if you are feeling extra fancy or some padding between the plywood and bedspread to make the seating a bit more comfortable. With this you have now created extra seating in your space, likely for at least 2 people. Along with the extra seating, you can also use the storage totes, that are the base of the seat, for their intended purpose of storage, just don’t put anything you may need to access quickly or often as that could become tiresome of removing the top of the seat over and over again.

This is just one of the many ways that plastic storage totes and a little ingenuity can help make a popular product in homes a functional piece of the household. To learn more about plastic totes and to order some for yourself visit Edge Plastics’ website here.

Below are instructions on how to build one kind of worm composting bin designed to be used inside. It is also possible to purchase worm composting bins. You will want to put your bin in an indoor space as you do not want the worms to freeze in the winter or get too warm in the summer. Additionally, you may want to put the bin in a basement or other out-of-the-way space since you will be producing compost and worm “tea” in the composter. Here are the supplies you need: 1. Two plastic bins – one must be taller and rest inside the other, shorter bin. The top tub should have a top to keep the worms from finding their way outside the box. It also needs to be somewhat flexible so you can drill holes into it. An 18 gallon tub that is roughly 15 inches deep, 20 inches wide and 15 inches tall works well. 2. A drill – To drill the holes so the worms can breat
