DIY Tray to Boot!

With the winter looming over NYC I needed to whip my entryway into shape. While shopping online and googling "Boot Tray" I wondered, like I often do, if I could just make one on the cheap. To make matters more challenging, most of my tools were on site at a client project so I really had to think creatively. I have a huge pile of scrap wood in my postage stamp NYC backyard for projects just like this! I broke down a pallet of wood, picked up a few things from my local hardware store, spent about $20 bucks, and had a great boot tray just in time for wet boots to thaw out on.

And there it is! This project took me about an hour, was incredibly affordable, and added rustic charm to my entry. I was limited on resources, but I'm sure a lot of you can think up ways to make this fancier! This might even be good for storage under the bed - how convenient for you to just reach for the handle and wheel out the tray!
Sensible and functional!
