Wine Crate Furniture

1 Jul winecrate

 Wine crates, made of 100% pine wood, are plentiful, functional, and oh so pretty!

 Rearranged horizontically, these wine crate shelves give a different look than the unit below. It doesn’t really matter to me. I LOVE these crates!

Putting them on the wall to make a shelving unit is pure genius. If I didn’t live in an apartment, I would have done this long time ago.

 I’ve already used wine corks to make a jewelry display board, why not use the case, right?

You used to growl at them them because you didn’t know what to do with them - those really big, super heavy, metal desks. Well, Jason and Guy know exactly what to do – transform them into desirable pieces. Jason Fox, the owner of Los Angeles-based, Purpose Restoration, and his business partner Guy Ellis, a former graffiti artist,  are recycling just the way we like it, with purpose and with style.
