Crate-tainer Gardening
My wife spotted this one on a walk home–Milkcrates as containers for inner-city gardening.
Aussie Bike Baskets
On this blog I haven’t been shy about my admiration for the Australian people’s ingenuity with milk crates. We have two simple examples here, but the hose details on the custom cut bike storage rack is a very sweet touch. –> via Treadly and Me, Basket cases
Crate Scooter Trunk
This photographer is traveling around, with a milkcrate trunk – shooting and living the milkcrate lifestyle. The above photo is of his ride in New Orleans, LA. –> via ipenemic.com, Nomad’s Land, Day 10
The Poem Shop
In NYC a group of writers has taken the writing to the streets and is offering a poem writing service. The poems are very reasonably priced (in the $5 to $20 range) and it’s better than writing advertising copy, right? The Poem Shop service was started by William Chrome and I love that the girl in the photo above is using a milkcrate as her typewriter stand. –> The Poem Shop via Adrian Shirk
Moose Crate Says Safety First
Biking in Montreal, Canada must be pretty dangerous. This crate is prepped for install with a full suite of reflective tape and reflectors. The moose sticker just makes the whole thing for me. –> via Moose Wanderings
Green Milkcrate Aids in Pink Graffiti
This young green crate was seen aiding a graffiti artist paint this mural in Toronto. It’s crazy how impressionable milk crates are these days. – via Pixelize
Crates on the Wall Bench
Charlie Vinz in Chicago built this cool cantilevered milk-crate bench with a hinged wooden top for storage on his bedroom wall. It’s pretty raw and to the point – which is why I love it. via–>South 12th, Oct 21st
Greek Milkcrates
My good buddy (and mortal enemy on the basketball court) Jay Yarow sent these photos from his Greek vacation. I love the colors and the shape seems pretty functional as well.
