A few more inspirations for using crates:

DIY Crates

1. Paint the crates with bright colors. Pile them up to create a bookshelf for kids room. I love how this can make a narrow corner in the room useful.
2. A simple bookcase created with crates of the same size piled up together.
3. Put the crate upside down. Makes a beautiful side table. Great for keeping books and table lamp. (I would not remove the center bar from the crate, however).
4. This is my favorite DIY use of crates so far! Four crates are joined beautifully with a tray in the center to keep decorative accents. An effective coffee table. Give it some legs of your choice and your have an extraordinary piece at home. You can find these projects on pinterest.
