Happy New Year! Why not start 2012 off with an easy DIY'er?
Materials required: A *wooden wine crate ~ a freebie! I got mine from my niece, Brittney ~ the restaurant where she works was happy to unload some of these.
*Stain of your choice. I used Minwax Wood Finish stain and sealer ~ Provincial 211.
*Foam brush and paper towel. After dusting the wine crate down, I applied light coats of stain with a foam brush then removed any excess stain with a paper towel.
After the stain dried, I sealed the shelf with ~
Almost ready for hanging ~ I couldn't wait!
Lastly, I attached "D" rings to the back of the crate, so I could hang it on the wall.
I hung the wine crate shelf up high ~ just because. Read more about the Anthropologie inspired dresser here. I'll soon be helping my son set up his apartment and we've talked about creating several of the wine crate shelves for his place. Maybe we'll use one in his bath (above the toilet for storage), his living room (stacking several together to form a "bookcase") or in his kitchen (to be used as a spice rack/dish shelf). So many possibilities ~ it should be fun. :)
I'm hoping your 2012 is the happiest and healthiest year ever for you and your loved ones. I'm off to cook some blackeyed peas!
