Trash can conversion with planter and shelves, by Mark

Description

I made a flower box, behind which I also concealed the trash can. Behind it is also a shelf for glassware. And new oak planks hang on the wall.

DIY trash can conversion

I first made a framework from timber. I attached one of the MDF boards to the bottom of the wall as a shelf. I had cut the plates for the inner box to size and attached them and sealed the seams. Then I glued the plates from TOSIZE.co.uk. I cut a round hole in the top so that the plant can grow through it. For the conversion I also used cando planks so that it matches the radiator surround.

The dimensions of the project

Flower box is 83.0cm high x 64.0cm wide x 58.0cm deep
