So that took longer than I meant for it to take! But they are up and that's all that matters. And I am so happy with them!
The stool was Goodwill find. Sorry no before pics (they got lost on my cell phone) but it was originally green and very banged up. I sanded it a ton, primed it with flat paint and topped it off with ORB. Honestly, it looks mostly black unless you get real close.
I wanted to only use large nails to hang the crates, but that meant I couldn't put the heavy white plates I had bought to go in one of them. And of course it threw the whole "filling" plan. I had to get creative and shop the house. Here's what I came up with:
Top Crate: 2 flameless candles (so I can actually have them "lit" in the crate!) and a fabric napkin.
Middle Crate: taper candle tied together with jute, a cookbook, and more fabric napkins.
Bottom Crate: Faux plants (that were in my hutch).
I didn't have room to use the smallest crate, so I had to find a new place for it along with the white plates I had bought to use as filler. Can you spot where the ended up?
There they are! Now...what to use as filler in this little crate? It is quite small.

Hi Jessi, your crates look fantastic! I love how you filled them with things around the house that you already had. Some ideas for the small one are vintage teaspoons tied together in a bunch, salt and pepper, dried lavender or a bunch of other dried herbs. I am sure whatever you decide on will look great. xx
Jessi, You did a wonderful job! I like the three together and the little one on your hutch! half the fun is trying to decide what to put inside! cute stool, too!
Hope you a great week :)

Love the crates. Those are the ones that Layla has at the Lettered Cottage aren't they. I love them. Looks great the way you displayed them. You could put old or new silverware in that small one.
