Wood Crate Sign DIY

It didn't take me too long to decide on what I wanted to make with those crates.

One look at the new Ballard Design Magazine

and the search was over.

See the picture above?

It was just a wine crate

 Saturday.

With it's chippy paint

in that perfect shade of  blue gray.

I made sure to use these in the project.

Hmmm...

Now this is not the correct way to join wood together.

Let's face it...

I'm always looking for the easy way.

How about you?

It works

So

I'm going with it..

Look's crazy I know..

but...

hang in there..

It's just perfect!

I love this old wood!

It was not easy to paint on

but

so worth it!

I'm still picking out splinters..hehe

Here are two reasons

why I love this old wood so much.

The old nails holes

and

this old blue paint.

Sorry for all of the pictures..

but ...I could not resist

Here is a peek at the Ballard's Sign

Now for the moment

ps.. just to answer a few questions

I painted free hand because the wood was so rough.

I have no idea what the sign say's but I would love to know.

The metal braces came from Wal Mart.

Thanks..
