I have been organizing my office. I have so many files and design inspirations clipped
from here and there. So many books to leaf through and to search for decorating ideas.
Last week I mentioned to our carpenter Brad, that I wanted some crates. I told him
what I wanted and he went into his workshop and started creating for me. Each one
is slightly different. He uses recycled wood and lumber scraps for every unique crate.
When I saw this one, I just knew it was meant to crate some of my many
design and decorating books. I love it's old chippy look. It's so primitive
looking ~ and I love that! I painted it a celery green color and added some
wonderful graphics from our own Graphics Fairy. I think this vintage French
Chocolat label is so very charming. Can't wait to start organizing all of my
books in this crate.
I will be showing you some more crates this week. I am thinking about
selling them and filling special orders. Let me know what you think.
I am joining ~
and
Okay Bentley ~ help me pick out some designs for a crate for all
of your many toys!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Your crates look marvelous! I also adore all your tartan/plaid things. You just have a lovely way of putting these vignettes together. Charmed as always.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I love those crates. I wish I had seen this before I got wicker baskets for my cubbies in my sewing room! Very pretty, as is everything you do! Hugs to Bentley.

ReplyDeleteI so so need to get my office organized. It's so messy I can't even thing in there right now. But it's so warm already I have to get my veggies into the ground. I need a helper!!!
I need about 100 of those to get organized over here. Such a lovely way to store things. And even more wonderful that they are made from reclaimed wood. Kudos to Brad. Best wishes to you, Tammy
