DIY Crate Bookcase
I recently shared this super fun tutorial to make your own DIY Crate Bookcase at Simply Designing.
It is a great way to add color to a very neutral room on a budget. This project cost me total of $35.
Hop on over here to Simply Designing to see the full tutorial (click here).
I added lots of little touches to make it really colorful and fun. The top had some summery green flowers and vases. On the top shelf I put a yellow frame and aqua dish with decorative balls.
I love how the distressing turned out. I used a cool technique.
This bookcase is super versatile. There are lots of ways to set up the DIY Crate Bookcase. Mix and match lots of colors.
This cobalt blue color is awesome. I love it!!! It will go perfect in my neutral basement and add lots of color.
I hope you will jump over to see the full tutorial at Simply Designing.

I love the blue! I’d love if you’d link up to The DIY’ers! http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-diyers-and-weekend.html
Simple yet effective! A great DIY project, and I love that colour blue. Thanks for sharing.
This is a great project. I’ve seen those crates at Michael’s and thought about getting some. I think I’d need to attach them, as I’ve got a lot of rambunctious boys in my house!
Pinned!
That blue color is so gorgeous and eye catching! Great job!
