Ideas for Crates Part 2 Floor Storage

Crates make great storage and display pieces all in one. Use as is like shown in the first picture. For this look you can use 2 of any size. In the second picture they have used newer wine crates but you can use older crates for a more weathered look. In the last 2 pictures they have been modified with casters for rolling storage. Rolling crates will also be great for use at a party. Line with a plastic bag and fill with cans of soda.

Ideas for Crates Part 1 Shelves

I am going to do several posts with pictures for ideas of what you can do with crates. I have taken these from the net. What I would really LOVE is for those that have bought crates from me to send me pictures. I have heard some TERRIFIC ideas.

This 1st picture is a great look. I sell loads of crates but I have yet to come across a load of similar crates.

The middle picture is fantastic look. Switch out the cutting boards and you can use this look in any room. The lower crate is a dairy crate, probably Borden's, and has a metal bottom. The other crate is a produce crate.


The last picture is either wine crates or produce crates.

You can look me up anytime on etsy and send me your pictures. I would love to see them!

Beautiful Willow is Gone

Willow, our deer, is gone. She has been released into a local state park to go run with the other deer. We figured she would wander off on her own as we never caged her but it didn't happen. We would have loved to have had her stay longer but one of the neighbors over the hill claimed she was terrified of this sweet creature and threatened to shoot her. At least we know she is in a safe place.

Thousands of Snow Geese

I have lived in the area for a couple of decades and the normal thing around here are Canadian Geese. For the previous 2 years we have had small flocks of snow geese landing in our fields. This year we had THOUSANDS of snow geese land! Unlike Canadian geese these white smaller guys are VERY noisy! And this mass group also started walking toward the tree line en mass while quacking. WHAT NOISE! And unlike their cousins, who stay for hours, they only stayed for 20 minutes.

Hours later my dog found wandering around our horse pen by itself. Must have have gotten lost because it didn't look hurt.

Charlie In His Sweater...Just For Chris!

This is just because Chris wanted to see a picture of Charlie in his sweater. In case you are wondering, that is his gut hanging down. Fainting goats are used as meat goats. Charlie only stands about 18" high. Can't imagine getting much meat off of him. Too sweet to eat. He knows his name and comes when we calls him.
