Vintage Milk Crate Stool

I was using this old crate for storage...
Silly me, until I decided it would make a great stool!

A board cut to size, some batting, and a pretty dish towel
turned this old crate into a cute little footstool.



It was a quick and easy project that created a quick seat or a place to put your feet up.

    We must think alike. I had one of these about 6 years ago and did the same thing, except mine had dividers in it. When we bought new furniture, I didn't have room for it. :( I kind of miss it now.

    Dear Susan,
    the Chair is wonderful. I'm looking for such a box made of wire long.

    Love greetings,
    Simone

    I love this idea! I have one of those crates - for now it holds my firewood...but this is a great idea.
