Firewood storage

I have a log burner which is hands down the best thing ever in the winter months.  Problem I had was that I was storing the kindling and logs in boxes and baskets which try as I might I could never make them appear stylish additions to the decor of the room.

So a trip to the local junk store coughed up this little gem.

Not much to look at but it was solid, right size and had a hinged lid.  So a bit of cleaning, sanding, priming and painting and ta-da I now have a storage box that looks like it belongs in the room and I no longer have bits of wood and cardboard cluttering up the room.

Now let's see how long it takes me to get around to replacing the hinges so that the lid closes properly.  As long as I do it within five years it will still be a personal record.
