Warehouse Style: Palette DIYs

As some of you know, I spend part of my time each week working for the e-commerce company my husband and his partner started. I love being part of the team and it's certainly a departure from my design work. Plus, working just above the warehouse brings a whole new surprising source of design inspiration. As I often walk by these stacked up shipping palettes, I naturally started wondering how I could use them in an interior. They have a great industrial vibe and it turns out there are so many lovely and eco friendly ways to give new life to these old wooden crates {but admittedly they would need a good scrubbing down first!}

I love them white washed with paint or just in their natural wood texture, here are a few of my favorite inspirations . . . 

I especially love this striped bin designed to hold fire wood - so creative and pretty! 

What do you think? Cool and repurposed or just old and a bit dirty?
