Repurposed Soda Crate Planter

This old Orange Crush soda crate was another find at a local church yard sale.  I instantly fell in love with the bright colors and graphics and knew that I could come up with something to do with it at home.

The only problem with it was that it had a piece of old, nasty carpet attached to the bottom.  I’m not really sure what the point of the carpet was, but I figured that I could easily remove it and the nails that had been used to secure it.

With a little elbow grease both the carpet and nails were gone and some more fun graphics were exposed on the sides.

And after popping a few flowers inside I was left with this fun planter for the back patio. 

This is definitely more than a crush… I think I’m in love!
