Crate Kitchen

This is a perfect milkcrate setup in an awkward spot. These four gallon milkcrates fit perfectly in between the stove and the chest freezer and to top it off – they found the perfect piece of marble in the trash. I’m pretty jealous of the whole thing. –> Apartment kitchen hacks from forkableblog.com via backgarage.com & the whole flickr photoset

Milk Crate Skate

Milkcrates and skateboards go back to the beginning for me. Playing with crates, stacking them to see how high I can ollie, and sometimes just knocking them down was the beginning of my love of the form. The misfits at American Misfits have done a series of these videos. This one just popped up on YouTube –>Fuel TV  – Milk Crate Skatin. The timing is almost perfect, after watching the video and getting motivated, buy one of these, I Heart Milkcrate skateboards.
