Egg Crate

allie • Jun 22, 2013

Sometimes I like to shop Whimsy. I love to see what all of my sisters bring, and they bring some really cool stuff. This last sale I bought a few things, but my favorite purchase was my egg crate that my sister Mel had made.


I put it under the island in my kitchen. Here’s the picture of before…

and after…

I tweaked it a bit to make it fit my home, just by staining it with Minwax Weathered Oak.

and I added some old casters I had…

I love an extra little farmhouse flair…

and the storage….I always love extra storage!

Plus….I don’t have to vacuum under the island anymore:)

Happy Girl.


I got a text from a sweet lady the other day who always thinks of me when she sees something I may like for Whimsy. She came across a huge pile of vintage crates at a garage sale. Thankfully I knew the lady, called her up, and asked if I could buy them all. Again…


happy girl:)


So, if you too need a crate for your house, you can find some at Whimsy.

I didn’t realized how many of them were liquer boxes:) Which is quite funny since I don’t drink, but they are still pretty cool:)

after a good cleaning, fixing, and handles, they are ready for the shop!

Which…is this coming Thurday and Saturday from 9-3!!! We’d love to see you! You can find the address and more information here.
