Any cool grill accessory boxes out there?

I have Two nice Webers. I do not have a garage. I want to have a cool looking storage box to keep my grill accessories in. I store a couple of small propane tanks for the Weber performer, leather BBQ gloves, charcoal tongs, and things like that.

I bought an old Coca Cola wooden box, and it looked great on the deck between the grills, until it started to leak. I now use a Rubbermaid storage box, and while it keeps things dry, it doesn't look nearly as cool as the old Coke box did.

I was wondering if anyone out there had any suggestions for something to use that is nice looking and relatively good at keeping rain out.

The one idea I had is maybe a vintage metal cooler from the 40's to 60's.

Your thoughts?
 
I use something kind of like this, though it wasn't as pricey.

I have this on my deck and use it to store Tiki tabletop candles, smoke wood, pellets for the A-Maze-N smoker tube, welding gloves, gloves I use for handling charcoal, and also a 5 gallon bucket for storing lump charcoal. I store KBB in the Performer bin and surplus in the garage. No rain gets in the deck box, and it stays in the same spot on the deck whether it's 105 degrees outside or covered in 3 feet of snow.

Not a bad option Chris. I am looking for something a bit smaller though as I have a small deck. I already have a couple of deck boxes, but they are located far from the deck.
 
I'm planning on putting in a deck next summer, and I'm considering adding a "grillrage" onto the back side of it with dutch doors that open up so I can roll the grill and smoker into it, and with storage for tools, charcoal, smoking wood, etc. I think I'm going to have a hard time convincing my wife that this is a good idea :smilekettle:

I have never met your wife, but yes you will have a hard time :)

Do you still have the Coke box that you liked? Maybe you could somehow modify that to be more rain-resistant?

The wood has split in several places. The box has been demoted (or promoted depending on how you want to look at it) to being the firewood carrier/holder box. It actually looks pretty cool sitting by the fireplace with the wood stored on end inside the box.

Hit up some flea markets... I think an old (not pristine) steamer trunk or something of the like would look pretty cool.
