Good Morning! I thought I should share my newest treasure! I am just so in love with my Crate Buffet! It could easily be used as a bookshelf, or craft room organizer, but for me, it's my so very needed dining room buffet.

I had seen something similar to this on Pinterest, so I was inspired and started gathering my materials needed to make my own!

It really is a simple list of items needed to build this piece.

Materials:

-6 wooden crates {all the same size, mine are 12 Deep / 12 Wide / 21 Long}

-2 pine boards {stained with the barn wood stain.,cut to size, mine were 13 Deep / 44 Wide}

-4 caster wheels {get the ones that turn and pivot around, I picked mine up at Lowes}

-Nails and Screws

Tools:

-Nail Gun

-Drill

-Chop Saw or Hand Saw (unless you get the lumber supply store to cut it to size)

And that's it! Pretty sweet right?

I had so much fun decorating my new treasure! I have a smaller home and feel like there is no room to decorate! And now I have six shelves all in one! Hooray! :) I'm a nerd, I know.

For the most part I had to use what I had around the house for my decor, with the exception of my new plant holder and Hydrangeas. {My Favorite}

I sanded the edges of the wood top for now.. I plan on beating it up a bit more later ;)

I am seriously ready for Spring! It's been a mix of wind, rain, sun, and snow here lately.. Umm.. okay, make up your mind and give us SPRING already!

Here is a shot of my dining room at this point. You might notice we're missing our trim.. We put in new floors and still need to finish the trim. I wish I could tell you this was a recent change, but no. My new floors went in over three years ago!!! I'm a bit OCD, so I'm surprised I've managed this long with no trim.. I just tell myself.. It's rustic, right? Eh? ;)
