Call us crazy, but we don't think we'll ever get tired of vintage metal lockers. Done well the industrial-looking pieces offer just the right amount of off-beat charm, a bit of nonchalance (a shrug, if you will) in an otherwise right and proper room. Click through the images above for a few ideas how you might incorporate these pieces into your home.

When a papercraft artist looks at a blank sheet of paper, they see a world of possibility in three dimensions.
