Hi My Repurposed Life readers! Obviously you love repurposed projects, and so I have a fun one today...

Repurposed table top into game box
Add handle and hook and eye
... and added a handle, and a hook and eye latch thingy, (I have no idea what that is really called 🙂 I bought this one in a set of two and used the other one on my Pull Down Art Desk I built for my son.)

Playing a game on the Game Box
A perfect game surface for any game! And of course checkers and chess too!
Easy to carry, and store
It is easy to carry with the handle, just in case you need games on the go!

Wow...what a really cool idea. I have just about gotten rid of all my games except for Checks, Caleb (grandson) loves beating his nana at that game. Great job.

Gorgeous Mindi! You have inspired me. I started a checkerboard table for my daughter 2 YEARS AGO that I cannot seem to finish. It's on my list for this week. You are such an inspiration.

That's fantastic! I love smart storage. Our games are in the built-ins in the basement, but I'd like to put them somewhere else.
