Wine crates for storage and shelving

I mentioned in a previous post that I bought some wine crates for only $3-5 each. They were used as part of the decor for my baby shower, but now I'm trying to figure out a way to repurpose them as storage or organization for the office/studio. They're currently stacked and being used as a sort of side table for our printer, but it's probably not safe to leave it like that long-term. One slip of a crate and the whole thing will come tumbling down! 


I did some searching and found some great ideas for shelving and storage. Now I just need to find time to get this done before baby comes!

This one isn't shelving/storage but it's so pretty!!!

Glass vessels galore

When I was younger, I remember our kitchen being littered with various jars and bottles of all sizes and shapes. Now that I’m a homeowner myself, I can completely understand my mom’s desire to save nearly every single container. There are so many uses for them!

My husband and I eat a lot of pasta; so naturally, my pasta sauce jar collection is quite large!

I wanted more variety of sizes in my jar collection so last year, I asked a friend of mine who recently had a baby to keep her baby food jars for me. Now I’ve got a set of about thirty of them, and they’re perfect for storing craft materials.

We used the baby food jars for my sister’s baby shower last year to hold small bunches of baby’s breath and placed them on tables as mini centerpieces. And did I mention that I’m also expecting? J I’m due in September and my sisters and bridesmaids are throwing me a baby shower in August, and I have a feeling those baby food jars will be making a reappearance!

More from my sister's baby shower next time!
