Monticello Milk Crates

I found these two crates on Craigslist last Saturday. They are from an old, local dairy and are very sturdy.

They were however, very dirty. I spent all of an afternoon scrubbing them with degreaser and even pressure washed them.

Now, I need to find a more glamourous spot than the half bath for them.





Our neighbor heard that I like old things and gave me this old metal sign that he found in his field.

Interesting how the phone number on the bottom is only three digits.

I love it!

 Now, I just need to find a way to make all my "new" things fit in my home.


My husband just installed some trim around the kitchen/laundry room door and I'm excited to paint that!

I'm loving the progress on some of these details that never quite got finished when we renovated the house.
