Small Projects: Recycling Wooden Crates

 

Right now is officially an In Between time.

We’re still living in our current rental home.  But we’re mostly packed and we’re anxious to be living in our new home.

And it will be time to move soon enough, that’s true.

Unfortunately, I have never been good at limbo.  Waiting is not what brings about the best version of me.

(Which is unfortunate because if it was, I’d be my most awesome self by 45.  Because I’ve waited for a LOT of things in my life.)

I like beginning the new thing but I don’t like hanging out in the old thing.  Rip the band aid off, right?  Don’t sit around and think about it.

Hopefully, though, despite my distaste for waiting, I have developed some better skills to distract myself during the waiting seasons.

And for me, right now, it is small projects.  I can’t hang pictures on the walls yet or decorate my bathroom. (I’ll have my own bathroom you guys!)

So for now I am finishing what I can do here at this house.  I’ve painted the patio furniture.  It’s ready to go.  I’ve taken any extra art work lying around to Hobby Lobby and had it framed and it’s waiting patiently for its new walls.

And last weekend, on a Friday night no less because I’m such a wild child, I started another project I have been thinking about and planning in my head.

I have several wooden crates.  One came from Kentucky, two from Virginia.

 

 

 

Bergen and I attached castors to the bottoms of these crates.

It was the simplest of tasks.  (The hardest part was simply finding screws that were short enough to not pop through to the inside of the crates.)

 

 

And now I have three adorable vintage under the bed storage containers.  Or – you know, wherever I want to put them.

 

 

What should I store in these?

I love them.

 

 

And I can’t wait to slide them into their homes.  Soon.
