So I've been obsessed with using inexpensive materials to make rustic things for the home. This first one was barely work at all. Just stack some soda crates and use them as an end table! The soda crates were an Etsy purchase from
Picking History. I bought some on the low end ($10) and some on the high end ($15), the more expensive ones are usually better for the top crate since it'll have less imperfections.
