有天布魯克 (Brooke Norsworthy) 在整理後院時,發現她那平凡無奇的塑膠冷藏箱跟鄉村風的後院實在格格不入,原本想要丟棄冷藏箱直接到商店購買的她,發現價格都超過台幣3200 (USD$100) ,她轉念一想,為何不自己做呢?
![She had seen beautiful, rustic coolers at stores like Cabela's, but they all retailed for over $100. She decided to put her old cooler to use rather than spend that money.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4c91d66c.jpg)
她發現自己動手做只需要花1000台幣 (USD$30) 購買零散的木材、螺絲、釘子、連接管、水龍頭、把手跟開瓶器即可!
![Luckily, she didn't have to spend that much. She was able to spend only $30 on scrap wood, screws, nails, and pipe coupling — plus a spigot, handles, and a bottle opener.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4ca09d6d.jpg)
他們測量了冷藏箱的高度設定大約 76cm (30英寸) 高,約像一般櫃檯的高度。
![They measured the frame around the cooler, then made the legs 30 inches tall so it was counter height.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4caa66c4.jpg)
邊框需要適當的貼合冷藏櫃。
![The frame should fit the cooler snugly. Visit Brooke's blog for more detailed information on their own measurements.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4cb5c49a.jpg)
一旦邊框完成了就可以把木板一塊塊用釘子釘上側邊!
![Once the frame was in place, she cut the siding and attached it with nails.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4cc1de2c.jpg)
側邊的邊條各預留5cm (2英吋),把冷藏箱隱藏起來。
![They let the siding overhang the frame to hide the 2x2s.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4ccc751b.jpg)
在側邊主板上為水龍頭留下一個小洞。
![For the side slats, they started with the center board and ensured that there was a hole for the spigot.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4cdafa76.jpg)
加上邊飾,一點點小功夫就能讓成果看起來更加分。
![They also added a trim. Attention to detail on projects like this can really make a huge difference.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4ce6f024.jpg)
將冷藏箱的蓋子加蓋,外面的木頭蓋子也需剛好能貼合塑膠蓋子。
![Next, they took the lid of the cooler and built its own frame with trimming. The cooler lid also fits snugly within its frame.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4cf3210f.jpg)
裝有鉸鍊的蓋子讓木頭蓋子可以隨著塑膠蓋一起掀起。
![Hinges allow the new wooden lid to lift in the same way as the plastic one.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4cfc4b93.jpg)
裝上開瓶器跟水龍頭並可加上一些可愛的裝飾!

接著成品就完成了!
![And here's the finished product!](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4d08b16f.jpg)
只需要一千塊就能讓整個院子不一樣!
![Only $30 and a couple hours of work created a truly unique, beautiful addition to the backyard that will definitely get guests talking at the next party.](http://teepr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/5641f4d148241.jpg)
