Just before
Christmas I got my hands on some wooden wine crates. They are brand new so the
wood doesn’t have a nice aged patina, but I knew right away that I could turn
them into a storage unit.
I have an empty space (God forbid... right... :) in a corner behind the door that I have wanted to make into something useful for a long time and these crates were perfect.
I played around a little before settling with the layout you see in the pictures.I didn’t want to paint the crates because I have a feeling that this corner won’t be their final resting place.
But because the wood was so new it needed“something” so I cut some scrapping paper to size and covered the back with that.
Oh I love your shelves - such a great upcycle
SvarSlettThat's so cute. I love them. The background paper really makes them pop. :) Visiting from DIY Showoff link party :)
SvarSlettVery cute! I LOVE the paper you chose for the backing, nice touch!
