Make It Mobile: Add Casters

Lockable casters are one of the simplest ways to modify your furniture. They're inexpensive, easy to install, and they can transform a table or ottoman into a multipurpose piece of furniture that easily moves to the spot where it's needed.

Here are a few inspiring examples of casters put to use. Follow the links for more information on each project.

• 2 Martha Stewart provides step-by-step instructions for transforming a lidded basket into a movable organizer and side table.
• 3 Over at Apartment Therapy Boston, Kyle added casters to an ottoman to make it more functional. (We also love that striped upholstery!)
