We are drawn to the versatility and rustic appeal of wood crates. As DIY projects, they are simple and satisfying and provide a multitude of organization solutions.
Above: Spotted on Brock Street, this modular shelving system is an affordable storage fix that is easy to replicate.

When my husband & I first got married, we used crates to make a bookshelf. We never thought about putting wheels on them. Duh... That sure would have made it easier to move (LOL).
I stuck large photographs from newspapers onto all four sides of mine, then varnished it with clear varnish.
interesting
Love it!!
Great ideas! Now i know what to do with my giant wooden crate. Thanks.
