We’ve got plenty of baskets, vintage candy dishes, and kitchen utensils that can all be re-purposed as attractive and unique small storage.  Imagine the possibilities!

Haley transformed this old wooden crate into attractive, rustic shelving for spices.  She got the crate and spice bottles at Mimi’s, all for under $20!

We’re always inspired by the creative projects our customers undertake.  Thanks for sharing, Haley!
