Design & Décor Storage & Shelving

Vintage Crate and Wire Basket Shelves

I made these super easy shelves from vintage soda crates and vintage wire baskets. All you have to do is:

- Drill 2 holes in each crate (I drilled mine in the center back plank of the crate on either side)

- Attach crate to the wall with screws and anchors (if needed) using the holes you drilled in the crate.

- Repeat the process and hang more crates side by side or on top of each other either horizontally or vertically.

- Combine the crates with some vintage wire baskets, by drilling two holes and anchors/screws in the wall, hang basket on screws.

- Decorate to your heart's content!

    I am so in love with these shelves <3 The way that the crates and baskets aren't aligned, but the project as a whole still looks balanced is really fantastic. Beautifully designed!

    I have clear canning jars that hold pantry essentials on two book shelves I have. I also have a collection of 3 tea pots and cups that are 1 unit each and I have 3 of them. I also have collections of pales and plates that I'm collecting now have all that I need and going to start putting them up on the dinning room wall in July. Very pretty how you have done these. I love old cases like these found some on e-bay and some blue jars. Very pretty.

    This is fantastic! Love it. Do you think there is a way to hang them w/out doing damage to the wall? I would love to be able to do this, but am currently renting. Maybe heavy duty command strips??

    @Leah Belverd I'm not sure about that one, maybe some heavy duty command strips would work...depends on the weight of the crates and what the strips will hold isuppise
