Old wooden crates are so fabulous! They can be used as storage for a craft room or entry way! Wooden crates can also be used as shelves if you mount them onto your wall! As shown in the picture below wooden crates can also be used as display boxes. This Dried Prune crate is being used to display holiday soaps, floral remnants from a relatives wedding and ornaments from a friends wedding which were oringanally used in a centerpiece. What I love most about this display is its placement. It is on the counter of my bathroom. This is the perfect example of the subtle comedy that can be found in a home full of vintage things. Most guests would not think anything of the wooden crate but if one were to have the time to really think about it, they too would find the comedy. If someone is smiling as they leave the bathroom I am often left to wonder if while relieving themselves they happened to be in the room long enough to find the comedy in my dried prune box. Placement can be so important when trying to make a statement, especially when the statement is spelled out right in front of you!
