Old ham crates = new furniture

A few months back, Teresa had a vision for a new cubby-hole organizer for the mud room.  All of the online options seemed so modern and uninteresting, so with the help of a Google search, the idea of stacking old crates came to be.  Last week we drove around stopping in antique shops looking for some old crates.  We kept striking out time and time again, but eventually found a large antique store in Quechee and our prospects started to look better.
In the basement of the store were PILES of old crates.  Most of them ham crates shipped from Poland.  They were all slightly unique and possessed so much character. 
We bought 11 crates total and Eric went to town with the nail gun when we got home. 
We ended up with an awesome looking storage shelf and another smaller bookshelf.
