Decorating with old crates is a thing now. Nothing new. But these images of PAINTED CRATES have caught my eye lately. Maybe its because we have a FANTASTIC old crate just sitting on the front porch being neglected- sad story, I know. We found it like this (courtesy of Nathan’s brother):

It had no bottom to it, so we found some old boards and attached them. Easy peezy. It has even been in a few photoshoots (what a rockstar):

Of course, I don’t want to ruin the thing with paint either. We all know I get a little crazy with paint sometimes. Obv.

So, maybe I just leave it and do something BA like this:

old crate boxes for bookshelves

Anyway. Those are my thoughts.
