I love old crates and boxes. We kept a few....
- One crate is used to hold old stuff....Fall decor - an old embroidered doilie, Ritz craker tin (filled with coins!), a not so old glass jar coved in basket reeds made by Hubs mother. I decorated the crate for Christmas, now I put that all away and am deciding what to place there again. Fun!
- Crate used as an end table. Since this picture was taken, I added a small pie tin beside the lamp to hold my coffee/tea cups.
- Crate used as storage in our small bathroom. The little shelf above the crate is one that I purchased at the thrift store in the nursing home I worked at. I used it in my office. I love that little shelf!
These photos are part of a file that didn't load correctly. I have been trying to post them for what seems like forever. I still don't understand the problem but I was able to make a collage and am now able to post it. Also part of the file are loads of pretty trees...but I have lots of pictures of pretty colored leaves from our back yard ♥
Bless you this January Saturday!

Love old things:) I am going thru a REALLY old tub right now and enjoying looking at things that had been packed away! Those crates are serving a great purpose! Have a blessed day dear friend, HUGS!
You have a knack for displaying your treasures! Enjoyed your collage!
I love old things and I love crates! As a matter of fact, I've got one outside that I'm bringing in to decorate with.
We have a couple of similar wooden crates,malthough ours are not old ones, but purchased at a crafts store several years ago. They do come in handy for storing items and the use of yours as an end table was creative, Doris.
You've always had such a knack for making old things look beautiful. I simply can't seem to pull it together. My old things just look old.
