The perfect outdoor accessory for your deck or any seating area.  It’s a multifunctional piece that adds color and function and is also pretty darn easy to make.

Who wouldn’t want one of these on their deck?

Here’s how:

According to home depot:

I created a DIY rolling cooler ottoman for a convenient spot to stow and grab cold beverages and to add even more seating (will the seating possibilities ever end?!).

I started by building a plywood box to fit the dimensions of a plain Styrofoam cooler.

I gave it a bright paint job and attached casters to the bottom.

Then, I upholstered another piece of plywood for the lid, affixed a couple of leather handles with screws, and attached the lid of the cooler.
