My daughter ask me to build a container that would hold her plastic trash bin. She was specific about what she wanted and gave me some pics off the Internet of commercially made containers. She wanted it painted black to match her kitchen appliances. A sloped top keeps it from accumulating things! It kills me to cover up wood with paint. I made it out of MDO but the top is maple in case she ever wants to remove the paint. The inside I spiced up with a little color. Latex enamel so it can be washed.

Great job on on this trash bin holder. I really like it, I too don’t like to paint over wood. Don’t care much for staining either. ( probably because I’m not good at it.)
My daughter likes some of her stuff to be stained black :-(
Oh well.. can’t do much when she has me under her thumb.

That’s a great idea…I need to make one of those. Trash gets out of hand from time to time especially when the kids get creative with stacking over the top so they don’t have to take it out to the outside garbage

Nice work, Spanky! I like all the thought you put into it. I, too, have grown tired of painting over wood, now that I’m finally learning how to make natural wood look better. Good thinking on the maple top.
