French Fruit Crate

You may remember, a few months back I had a crate hanging above our island.

Well, just to change things up a bit, I took it down for a while.

But when I got this French fruit crate from Elsie Green House & Home, I decided

it would look great above the island.

This is a view of our kitchen that I rarely show…mostly because I feel like it’s kind of plain.

But, as you can see, we do have a nice amount of storage, even for our small size kitchen. The area beside the refrigerator is where I keep our small appliances…that way our limited counter top space stays open.

The gray door is our pantry. I painted the door in a gray weathered stain. I’ve always wanted to add a vintage screen door in it’s place, but I haven’t found one that fits just yet.

I love to hang small baskets and herbs from the crate. I have lavender and lemon balm…but I will probably add other herbs and flowers throughout the summer.

The vintage rolling pin also came from Elsie Green House & Home…it’s a beautiful online shop with French farmhouse antiques. And the white hydrangeas are from our garden. They look so pretty this year! I do love the white ones!
