Vintage Coke Crate Wagon
Easy
We were browsing the thrift store like we usually do looking through the furniture section and we saw the little wagon sitting under a little bench with part of it sticking out of course we grabbed it and had to have it, as we couldn't think of why no one has gotten it yet, as its a vintage coke crate turned into a wagon!
All the parts were there but the wheels and pull looked way to new for such a old crate. So once we got it home we decide we would paint the pull and wheels to make it look much more older.We got out the white paint and pretty much white washed it then sanded it to distress the wheels and pull. After that we added antiquing wax to it, to give it the same antiqued look as the crate had.
After all of that we decide it would be a great planter to set little pots of plants in as its to small to actually be used as a wagon. It already had cracks and a hole in the bottom from it being a crate so its the perfect planter.
If you didn't want to use it as a planter it would be great for outdoor BBQ'S to hold the silverware condiments or anything else that is needed! It has so many options that it could work anywhere and in many different decors.
