I didn't want another cabinet or drill holes in my wall to hide my dosers.. and I didn't want to spend $100+ on ready made chest or storage. so I decided to make a box for it.

I got two wooden drawer boxes from AC Moores ($10 each with coupon)

Made plywood top for one box ($8 plywood at Lowes, had leftovers)

Added some height to the other box and a nice hole for the tubing to go through and stacked the two boxes together.

a little paint (did the pickling method to get the washed look) and decor and done!
($10 for the starfish at Michaels with coupon)

Total cost: $38

I forgot to take updated pic of the dosers and such inside the box. they fit perfectly (dosers I mounted on the inside of the box). I will do tonight- but here's my testing photo, making sure everything fits.

I was curious why the dispenser-bottles are in there?
Are the pumps drawing from the bottles?
If so, why leave the dispensers on?

thanks for the photos from my other thread, I added it to the first post :)

The pumps are off now, I drilled a hole in the caps and stuck the tubing through the caps. The photo above were old to see if everything would fit in the box before I proceeded with the project. I will have to take an updated photo tonight to show you :)
