I made a total makeover of an old TROFAST frame – a remnant from my daughter’s early childhood.
1. I painted the frame a Chalky Finish paint.
2. I changed the shelves into doors and attached them to the frame with door hinges.
3. I added wheels to the original top of the TROFAST and flipped it over to become the bottom.
4. The original bottom of the TROFAST was hollow, so I cut two pieces of a plank and made a topper. I painted the top and joined the two pieces together with hinges.
