We Love Milk Crates!

(inspired by the efforts of Chris over the weekend)

Light installation rom Treehugger:

How cool are these crate briefcases!



And you can find milk crate art here including our very own Milk Crate Man!

Make your own shelves

God bless Pura Crates! God knows what any rental property would be without them...

This is really easy and obvious, but I have seen people take this further and make really glamorous shelves out of old crates, but we'll stay simple here....

Get your Crates, I'm never sure where people actually get these from, they seem to just be in every rental property... Clean them...



Then simply stack them, with the large hole to left of the right so that no items fall through. If your items are too small and fall through the gaps in the crates then you can use wood or card to prevent this happening.



Voila! Who needs Ikea!
