The other week I picked up an old barn crate from a local thrift shop and figured it would be the perfect size to hold some of my vinyls. I cleared out the cobwebs and dust and then used some green painter's tape to form a few straight stripes across each side. I then painted them a sea-foam green colour, and may have gotten a little too into the activity and also painted the three wooden boards along the sides of the crate (at this point I had to remove myself from the situation before the entire thing was painted..). I like the way it turned out, it looks rugged yet pulled together with the contrast of the minty stripes and cracks in the wood. I might pick up a couple more to paint for family members and friends because I had way too much fun painting this and it has so many potential uses! I'm thinkin' my Mother might enjoy it for putting some lovely flowers in, and my Aunt could probably use one to store the little one's play toys in. It's something quick, cheap, fun, and definitely easy to make.
