Wonderful ideas to repurpose wood crates

Whether they’re vintage or new, wood crates are just begging to be repurposed. They can give you storage where you don’t have any, add rustic charm to a room, or simply just be a place to corral things momentarily.They’re usually pretty easy to find and inexpensive, so they just beg to be repurposed into something new.

Next time I see wood crates at the flea market, I'm definitely grabbing a couple to make this little rolling cart.

Recently I made this rolling cart for our office with a couple wood crates. Super easy and super useful, too!

Here are some ways my fellow bloggers have improved on wood crates.

    Oh wow, I love these ideas! They are all really nice. But I think that my two favorites are the storage table and the coffee table. Makes me want to go buy some wooden crates.

    There is a reason why wooden crates are so popular. They are the perfect storage solution for practically anything. I particularly like the idea where someone put wheels on a crate and used it to store sports equipment. I would love to do something like this to keep all of my dog’s toys off the floor.
