Easy Storage with Crates

 I'm a HUGE fan of pretty storage and lets be honest who isn't? One of the more challenging things to store is toillet paper, you can't just have a bunch of rolls hanging out without making them look like they actually belong there. I was wandering around Michaels the other day when I ran into a pile of unfinished crates, I thought "Oh my! The things I can do with these!" I grabbed one to start off with @ $8.06! Took it home and slapped 2 coats of stain on it and let it dry over night. The next morning I put together my new set up in the guest bathroom. I always say "This is easy" but seriously, this is REALLY easy. All you need is a wooden crate, stain, and a sponge.

Here are some more ideas where crates make pretty storage:

• Store towels, books, crafts
• Use as toy box
• Make a coffee table like this one
• Use as photo prop
• Store wine bottles
• Use as storage for fruits & veggies in the pantry
