Fabulous Wood Crate Upcycling Projects

I love the look of wooden crates. They offer such rustic appeal and they’re so useful for storage and other things. Whether you’re a fan of industrial decorating or you prefer French country or a vintage look, there are a number of ways that you can incorporate wooden crates into your decorating.

Now, let’s get back to what you can do with those wooden crates. From bathroom storage to toy boxes and so much more, there is definitely going to be a wooden crate project in this collection that speaks to you. I can’t wait to hear what you’ve made!

Built-In Shelving

This built-in shelving is something that you would pay a small fortune to a contractor for – but you can do it for so much less. Those wooden crates can be purchased at most hobby stores as well as Dollar Stores for around $10 each

Cushioned Ottoman

This is an amazing project and one that doesn’t take long. You can turn a vintage milk crate into an ottoman with a pillowed top and plenty of storage. You don’t even have to sew – the top is stapled on in true upholstery style.

Little Car Storage

How adorable is this little car garage? It’s made with an old wooden crate and some cardboard mailing tubes, which you can pick up at postal stores for just a few dollars. I love the ingenuity of this

Front Door Organizer

Most people – me included- would love their keys if they weren’t hanging somewhere safe. I have a shelf beside my entry door that houses all the car keys so we always know where they are

Rustic Nightstand

Turn that old crate up on its side and make it a gorgeously rustic nightstand or a side table for the living room. You can add one of those cube shelves from the Dollar Store – they’re about $5 each – and make plenty of storage inside your table.
