Crate Kitchens

Creative Cabinetry Using Colorful Crates

Vintage crates are a perfect material to create customized kitchen cabinets. That’s what designer Rupert Blanchard was thinking when he designed these gorgeously nostalgic cabinet artworks.

The crates to make your kitchen your own can be found for relatively cheap. Unless you can pay someone else to plan and install them, however, this won’t be easy. Imagine the time and effort involved in finding exactly the right crates, and exactly the right configuration. But then, imagine how amazingly cool your cabinets will be.
