There are a lot of projects on the internet for recycled crates and pallets. So we decided to give it a try too. When I saw this crate, I fell in love with it! I knew exactly it's purpose and where it would fit in our home. A shelf in our laundry area that could hold all our detergents for clothes, dishes and floors.
It was not in prefect condition, we had to change the base and make a few repairs but other than that, this was a pretty easy and fast project.

| A close up of the hook board. It was priced at RM29.00 but because it was missing a hook and the picture a bit torn, I managed to get it for RM10.00 AND I suppose it's a blessing in disguise as the 'missing' hook is missing at the right place because of the plug point. |
Amazingly innovative :-D You are really good at this sort of things -recycle and reuse. I take my hat off to you :-)

ReplyDeleteHi Corinne,
ReplyDeleteLove the things you're making with the crates! Can I ask where did you buy them? I was told that there's a place somewhere in Ara Damansara but unsure where. I would like to get some wooden palletes too. Thank you!

Hi Em,
DeleteI did not buy this crate, I found it an industrial area. If you are lucky, you can find some nice crates and pallets too either in Kota Damansara or Shah Alam. Not sure about Ara Damansara, but I do visit a place called Kedai Kaki Lelong that sells 2nd hand furniture to all sorts of things.
Good Luck in your project!
