Rustic crate bookcase

I'm replacing the rustic cabinet with a bookcase unit made from small crates stained with two washes of grey, black and brown. Could I have made nine identical crates? Yes, but why do that when Minimum World offers perfectly suitable ones already made? I bought these for $2 each instead of trying to make a bunch of identical crates, which would have taken days.

 

With the angled front wall, I thought an offset stack would look best. There was slopped glue around many of the seams, but that was easily masked by stuffing the shelves full. I put my wheat back penny in the bottom row for size reference.

 

I'll make some additional items appropriate for a studio, but I love the way they look so far with some minis I had on hand. In fact, many of these items will have to stay...they just look so completely at home.

I was looking at your regular blog and recognized the rustic cabinet. I got a bunch of that specific furniture years and years ago on Ebay. I have some of it in my Observatory 2009 Spring Fling gallery if you want to look. I also have some other pieces sitting around. I just put up a picture in my gallery under "Random Minis" of the chest of drawers that was behind the telescope against the wall in the Observatory. You can't really see it from the pictures, but it's almost exactly like this! So fascinating! I got all excited and wanted to show it to you.
