Basic crates can be used for so many different things around your home from organization to furniture building. Today’s post is all about some of the best easy crate projects that have caught my eye!
I’m always drawn to the plain, unfinished crates in craft stores or in home improvement stores. It’s just amazing what you can do with them! I usually just end up painting or staining them and using them as stylish bins for storing books, shoes, and toys around the house, or flipped over as risers for plants on my porch. I do love to see all the amazing ways that other people come up with to use them though. I can’t help but want to save all of these ideas because I just know one of them will come in handy one day. I thought I’d put together a bunch of easy crate projects today so we can all be inspired by the possibilities that these simple basic crates can bring to our homes.
