DIY Crate Shelving

How to make your own shelving out of wooden crates.

Crate Shelving is a budget friendly DIY project.  This project came about for me last summer, I had moved from a place that had built in shelving that I was able to put my books on and add some décor.  I had my box of books in the corner of my living room with nowhere to go.  I searched Pinterest and found this crate project and thought genius.  I went to Home Depot bought a few crates, a sponge tipped brush, and a dark stain/poly finish .  I found Home Depot had the most reasonably priced unfinished crates.  You will also need a clean tarp to work on.  I started with the outside of the crate first and worked my way to the inside, this took a few hours.  I let it air-dry outside for a few days, as the stain smell can be pretty strong.  I repeated this with 4 crates.  It’s a good way to stay organized and give the home a bit of a rustic feel. You can also add some pictures and accents to give it a more cozy feel.
