Mel from Junkin’ Junky decided to make her own rustic herb crates since the cost of shipping to Canada really ran up their purchase price. After building and staining her boxes, Mel used vinyl to create a stencil and painted on her wording. She’s still working on adding hooks like those of her inspiration, but, hooks or no hooks, I am loving Mel’s crates and all the possibilities they present. A rustic bread box or book bin are just a couple of cute ideas for these bins.
Mel was inspired by the Nesting Herb Crates available from Urban Farmhouse.

Wow, they look great! I have the same crates but I took the easy way out and ordered them. Great job!
