I love the creativity that goes into re-purposing things like the crates in this kitchen.
They make really interesting bookshelves too.
If only I were this organized.
This is probably a little more my speed.
This is my crate.
I got it from my grandparents who've had it for years. (Anheuser-Bush? Grandpa! Or should I say, grandma???)
I'm currently using it to hold magazines, and while that keeps the magazines neat and orderly, I'm thinking I need to do something a little more creative with it.
Oh I love those!! Of course everything is so crisp and clean looking. My spaces never look that crisp and clean.
ReplyDeleteAh, I love them all, especially the bookcase. I love yours too. Maybe you could use it in your bathroom under the vanity after you paint it. It would look very country/cottage in there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inspiration. I love the look of the crates in the kitchen but not sure how functional it would be. I could just see me having to pull it out, on my hands and knees as I empty the crate searching for what I need. Wait a moment, I do that now too! : /

I'm with you on the crates in the bathroom- great idea. I'll have to be on the lookout for them when I hit the flea markets this spring. Just the right rustic feel for the cabin. I became a follower too!
ReplyDeleteI love your inspiration photos here! I have one of them on file as well...the crate bookcase - LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteMy hubs is named Jeff, too, btw!
I'm looking forward to keeping up with your progress here...I'm a follower now! Thank you so much for your well wishes and I hope you have a great weekend, Celeste!
I love your old crate.
ReplyDeleteI had fun looking through your blog and will be following your progress!
Love this! Wonderful ideas for storage... especially the one with towels, tp, etc...
