{Star of the Week: White Soda Crate}

Happy Friday loves!  I am tickled that it is finally Friday, as my Great Aunt Millie (who is 86) and I plan to go see a matinee today ~ Midnight in Paris ;-)  It's been quite a while since the last time we went to the movies...granted every Wednesday night is still girls night, but we haven't gone to the movies in too long!

Believe it or not I have a point here with all this movie talk ~  a couple of weeks ago I did a post about using a soda crate as a popcorn holder...see where I am going with this?  Yes, I plan on getting popcorn at the movies, which of course made me think of this crate...which in turn is why it's my 'Star of the Week'.  Whew, you still following me?  Eeks, I hope so ;-)  Anyway, have a look-see at my lovely white soda crate...

There are SO many ways, beyond a popcorn holder, in which you can use this crate.  I adore it standing up and used as a cubby, and even flipped with its bottom up (hehe) and used as a cake stand!  And I just have to tell you that the crate is perfect...not slanted like it looks in the picture ~ it's the ground that has a slight slope here ;-)

Styling Tip:  You could also use this crate to hold cocktails!  Just fit your glass in a square and have your servers serve them up! 

Cheers to a fabulous weekend!  See you back here on Monday...hopefully with some new finds that I can share with you.

{Repurposed: Wood Soda Crate}

In last week's 'Repurposed' post I showed you a soda crate used as a caramel corn holder for a dessert table ~ well for this week's 'Repurposed' post I figure why not show you another way to use a wood soda crate at a wedding!  Fun, no?  Yet, I am sure I will be showing you lots of other ways to use them as time goes on ;-)

So today it's all about repurposing the wood soda crate to be used for an escort area at a wedding.  Have a look-see at this darling escort area...

Here the bottom of a soda crate is being used to hold key chains and names for seating.  And while I know this is just one crate, a handful of them would sure look fabulous all lined up! 

And how darling is the idea of key chains as escorts?  I love that each key chain represents a different table...so find your name, and your destination. L-O-V-E it!  Here are a couple more closeups for you...

It looks like simple, small, gold screw in hooks (something like these) were used to hang the key chains from...however, small nails and pushpins would work just as well.  And just think of all the options of things you could hang or pin...like keys!  Oh, you bet your buttons I am loving the creativity here!

{Repurposed: Wood Soda Crate}

Happy Thursday my dears!  Goodness, I can't even believe that it is Thursday today.  Where in the world did the week go?  And to think that this weekend is Memorial Day ~ aye, aye, aye!!!

Anyhoo, before I get ahead of myself, again, about the weekend...I wanted to share this super duper easy and cute way to display caramel corn (or popcorn or a variety of other treats)...

Cute, no?  Oh, me likey A LOT!  I am always over the moon about repurposing things ;-)  And all you need for this project is a wood soda crate and some homemade cone holders (just roll some parchment or paper to form a cone and glue or tape to secure) ~ that's all it takes to get this fun, festive vintage caramel corn holder.  However, I think you can put just about anything in those cones and it would be fabulous!
