Sam Kragiel of Brave Space Design is featured in Time Out New York with a how-to on making your own desk. All it takes are some wooden crates, a flat board, and chalk board paint...
Made of items he already had on hand, Sam boasted, "The only thing that cost money was the paint". We love this industrious DIY attitude and we're inspired by Sam to see our "junk" as something that could be useful given some good, old-fashioned elbow grease.

Kind of reminds me of something you might see in a shanty town. I like reusing items and I really like the old wooden boxes but I can think of a lot more attractive uses for them than that.
