It's just crate....!

While I kind of liked this storage piece from Pottery Barn

What I really loved were the little, vintage looking aqua crates underneath...

Did you know they don't have those for sale in their catalog at all?.. how dare they!?

So of course, I had to make a few for myself..


And list the extras in my etsy shop...

They're jerks, sometimes! I'll see something amazing and look everywhere for the little letter by it in hopes that it's for sale. A LOT of their cute accessories are like that.

Probably cost a 1/4 of the price they would have put on them too. They sure do look great though!

Sorry I missed the makeover party. I tried to do it late last night but could not get Mr Linky to cooperate.

I LOVE those.
That's the perfect aqua blue - what paint did you use? Thinking of painting the cabinet in my laundry room that color.......
They look fantastic!!

Hi Jen :)

You did a great job on them! I hate when they don't sell something that is in their catalog.
