Make a DIY IKEA Hack Crate

There's nothing else to call this crate besides 
cute and funky.

The "box" is a drawer from an IKEA organizer.

The sides of the crate are from the back of a chair... that's why they don't quite match each other, they were once one long piece.

The handle is from a lamp table I found in front of my neighbor's house.

Remember the garden sign and the bun footed table tray?

Well there was still a pole left over... I've just gotta keep re-purposing till there's nothin' left!

The whole box got a vinegar and steel wool solution because it evens out the colors and makes all the pieces match.

A little later however, I decided to paint the crate with Martha Stewart Sea Glass Paint.


I added a tsp. of un-sanded grout and water to make my own chalky paint.

A better name for this color might be vintage mason jar... 

Look at that color!
