Crate Love

I LOVE finding new ways to use my old soda pop crates with each new season.
I have a fall dessert set and needed a way to display them in the hutch.
Plop mugs in the crate individual square openings and add some sunflowers.


Set the dessert plates to the side with the silverware.  






Another way to use a crate:
Stand up an old crate on its end and create instant shelves for displays.  


Fits nicely on the old singer sewing machine cabinet.  


Happy Fall Y'all!

I have had a Coke Cola crate in the basement for years from my dad's service station. You've given me an inspiration! Thanks. BTW, did you shellac your crate before using?
