If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you know that I love using reclaimed wood
in my projects.
When I was contacted to come up with some creative ways to use large and small crates in a way that helps with back to school organization, I was all over it.
By the way, if you click on that link you will see they are now selling deconstructed reclaimed and new pallet pieces! No more killing yourself trying to pry the pieces off!
I knew right away what I wanted to do with the larger crates.
The first thing I did was to stain them a rich ebony.
Then I stacked them on our small front porch to create a catchall for sports equipment,
bags, and books.
I don't know about you, but I always feel like there is such a small amount of time after school before it's dinner time and then the kids are heading off to sports practice's.
Having everything in one place and organized is key.
I also like that these are totally portable. I didn't attach them together, they are just stacked one on top of the other.
I painted the smaller crates Rosemary by Sherwin williams and added some little buckets from Ikea in them. This makes a handy place for markers, pens, and pencils.
How many times do your kids sit down to do homework only to spend too much time trying to find a sharp pencil?
Now for the fun part!
One of you will win 2 large crates, 2 small crates, and drumroll please…..
a $50.00 Home Depot gift card!

Thank you for the giveaway and have a wonderful weekend
If I won I would give it to my college student son who is an Architect major to use in his room that he is re designing.
As an elementary music teacher, I could create a 🎶music corner🎶 with fun creative things to do for kids with extra good behavior!
Brightly painted shelving loaded with fun interactive items, a cute rug, and beanbag would entice the kiddos to really behave! 🎶
I enjoy following you on Instagram and love your blog! Thanks for doing this!
I'd use them in my in-progress bedroom remodel :) [email protected]
With back to school right around the corner and my garage becoming a pile of shoes, flip flops, light weight jackets etc. I would love to use these crates to get organized for September where the kiddos can grab and go all the must haves to get out the door! Thanks!!!!!
Sorry forgot my email [email protected]
I would stain it and put it in a place that I call my secret garden with all of my herbs and various flowers and sitting area to either hold more herbs or be a decorative piece that has a small fairy garden inside. [email protected]

As an avid upcycler, I would LOVE to utilize the crates as wall decor. I would mount them with the bottoms of the crate against the wall, then fill with my antique book collection! [email protected]
I would use the crates for storage. And leave them out in the open they have such an appealing rustic look about them.
I have an empty spot that needs "something" I think that the crates would look good there as a way to store my kids books. So cute!
Forgot my email address! It is jendavehayden at gmail dot com and I would use the crates as a cute way to store my kids' books.
Love this!! I would use the large crates for toy bins in my daughter's rooms, and the smaller for keeping fruit out on our island for snacks! Thank you for this giveaway!

There are so many possibilities. I would love to put one in my kitchen for my recipe books. One in my son's room for his toys and books. I could also see putting one in my classroom behind my teacher desk as a special tote just for me!
I am in the idea discovery phase for an above ground vegetable garden. I bet these crates could be a starting point and the $50 gift card could not hurt!!
I am redoing a desk for my daughter to do schoolwork at. I would love to incorporate these somehow.

The perfect place is on my backyard deck to place assorted terra cotta pots full of of colorful flowers! 😜. I might even spray the pots light grey and stain the crates a darker shade. Thank you fingers crossed !
[email protected]
I would use them in our foster sons bedroom! They need shelves for their books and these would be fabulous! Thank you for a fun give away.
I'm a recent empty nester.....love looking thru blogs for DIY projects! I'm turning my daughters room into my craft room/office. Would love to use these in the mix!
[email protected]
These would be so cute to grow veggies in a small space. The boxes would provide the structure in which I could grow things vertically with easily removeable plant pots. I'm also thinking these could be so simple with white towels in the bath. Stain the crate and stencil a french word. And to be even more practical, stored by the door for the millions of flip flops that are currently taking over my first floor.
Magazines.....my many magazines....would fit these boxes and could be lined up by my chair....yes....perfect!!!!!!!
Thank you for this nice giveaway!!
Blessings,
J

I'd use them to organize my garage.
I would paint the white then hang the crates on my bathroom wall for extra towel storage. I would make them(stacked) so they looked similar to a built in shelf.
I would use them around my house...one on the bathroom counter with towels and soaps, one near the door to catch shoes, hmmm...probably one in the guest bedroom and maybe one in the master bathroom. Too many ideas!
The larger crate would be great for storing bottles of wine in! The smaller one, maybe for keeping herbs in their little starter pots? Lots of good uses for them.
