Bathroom shelving is hard to come by. Rarely does a bathroom come outfitted with additional storage space for all of your toiletries (at least the ones with beautifully designed labels). Instead of buying a run of the mill shelf, here is a great solution using a wine box and an old frame.
This is a relatively easy do-it-yourself project that can quickly add a punch of character to a bathroom or also an entryway or hallway. Since the shelving is fairly shallow, it is great for smaller spaces.
To make the shelf, simply remove the back of the wine crate and use some of those pieces to make shelves for the interior of the box. Add a unique finish by fastening an old frame to the front of the box. Once that is done, spray paint the entire unit for the desired look. Krylon Crystal Color was used here to achieve that antique finish.

This is beautiful. That's pretty lucky to have a frame that is the exact size of the wine crate, though!
I have a painted wine crate hanging in my bathroom now, I never thought to put a frame around it. Thanks for the idea!

It is beautiful, but I'm a little sad they painted over the wine crate.
Nice!
This project doesn't know what it wants to be. Is it display shelving (as per the title and photo of obviously decorative stuff) or storage? As soon as an open shelf like this is used as storage, that is to say, filled up, it becomes much less attractive. Arranging a few well-chosen cute things on it isn't going to help much with a storage problem.
i've been a wine crate decorator for years, but never did anything fancy. absolutely loved this framed box. beautiful and ingenious.
I love it. I just can't believe it's a wine crate. That is incredible work. The border looks like a Victorian antique frame.
