I've acquired this apple crate and thought it's far too good simply to store apples and thought there must be a use for it around my home.
I'm always looking at ways to repurpose items when I can.
After a lot of trial and error I came to the conclusion that it would be ideal for book storage.

I had considered maybe giving it a wash of paint but decided to leave it in its original rustic form.
The crate is made from well used wood, nailed together with a natural unspoilt finish.

This final picture shows it stacked with books standing in pride of place next to another classic retro lamp from the 1970s.
In the foreground is a fantastic wooden plant stand which also adds character to the living room.
All of these pieces in their own little way show my likes and personality.
So what would you store in your apple crate?
