Here is one of our projects from this weekend. I have had these wine crates for several years. I took three of them from the trash outside a wine store when I was living in Manhattan. They put some out every week, and I wish I could have taken more. At the time, I used them as “drawers” on my bookshelves. Later, I found another and used them in my kitchen cabinets here. Then, I saw this post on offbeathome.com. I have wanted more storage in my kitchen since I moved in, and this seemed the perfect solution. Here is how it turned out.

I really like how the crates work in that space. I was able to see the pictures so easily. Did you use you new camera?
Thanks! I did use the new camera, and I also made the pictures full size. We were really busy here this weekend.
Jessica it all looks great! You and Doug did a fine job!
Thank you! I cannot stop looking at them. I keep making up excuses to go into the kitchen.
Looks great! So jealous of your wine crates!!!!!!
You can come visit them any time!
Love this idea and I’ve had the same thoughts with this. I’ve been saving pictures from around the web and hope to do the same type thing in my house. Also, just so you know…. LOVE that you used the full sized pictures in the posts. It’s much easier to read and look at. (hope you don’t mind me saying that) The crates and the BLOG look great. Wonderful inspiration for me!
Hi Stacey,
I definitely do NOT mind you saying that the blog looks better with full sized pictures. I appreciate any positive feedback. So, glad I could inspire you! That is my goal.

The crates are great… but totally overshadowed by your cat. (I am a cat fanatic.) I left you a comment on your last post… but I think it went to spam, and I’ve been having a terrible time with Akismet lately, and wanted to be sure that you got it…?
It’s a sweet setup. Nice use of those trash crates!
Thanks! I do my best to keep what I can out of the landfill. It is also good for my budget.
I love the bigger pictures taken with your new camera! !! Also I know what the ceramic piece is, do I get a prize? 😉
No fair. You were there when I bought it. But I will give you a prize when you come to visit me . 😉
I really like how this space looks. A little nostalgia mixed with a modern elegance. The pottery is a nice touch, and the wine crates put a vintage accent on it. Very eye-catching.
Thank you. Even after three years, I still really like the way they look.
