Remember these old crates I found for FREE on the side of the road??
Well, I would like to share just one of the many projects I've completed with them so far!
I had a blank wall in my dining area that I have been wanting to fill for some time now and I wanted to do something personal and rustic, creative and for no money! I'm not too picky am I? :)
After browsing Pinterest (of course!) I came across this Farmer's Market sign.
Check out the rest of my inspiration, here!
A farmer's market sign!
How appropriate for us since we are new gardener wannabees!
Just our style and perfect for a Kitchen!
After several hours yanking and pulling, prying and yelling I dismantled the crates, leaving me four sides.
Then, I stenciled the words on using dollar store stencils and white paint I already had on hand.
No cost there!
After some distressing with my palm sander and attaching some sawtooth hangers on the back they were ready to hang.
I just love all the little imperfections, rusty nails and character.
It fits in nicely and I'm loving it!
Don't forget to enter my giveaway for these fabulous Bohemian Earrings!

Kara - I LOVE IT! Your signs turned out awesome! I've been looking all over the stores for something to hang in my dining area, but I think you've inspired me to look for something to make instead. Besides, everything pre-made is sooo much more expensive! Your new sign fits your home perfectly!

I love this! Every time I see discarded pallets on the side of the road, I always imagine how I could recraft them into something useful. Your repurposed crate project is inspiring!
