A Farmhouse Find for Our Kitchen

I’m so in love with these Vintage Nesting Herb Crates:
{Decor Steals}
 
It all started when I saw them hung in Layla’s kitchen on The Lettered Cottage: 

Seeing the same vintage nesting herb crates again in a gorgeous farmhouse kitchen by Van Wicklen Design sealed the deal:

{Houzz – Van Wicklen Design}
I had to have them. They are sold by Farmhouse Wares {here} and I came so close to ordering them about a dozen times but I truly had no good place to use them in our old house. Fast forward many months to a new house that has a farmhouse kitchen and the PERFECT wall for these nesting herb crates. When the lightbulb went off, I excitedly went to my laptop and pulled up the bookmarked site to find…they are out of stock. So bummed. I emailed the company and it’s looking like it’s going to be another 4-6 weeks before more come in.
 
While I may end up waiting it out and ordering the nesting herb crates once they are available again, today I stumbled upon a very cool farmhouse find that would also work for that same wall in my kitchen:
It may not look half as awesome as the vintage herb nesting crates but you also have to cut the poor barnwood display box some slack. Unlike the hung and styled herb nesting crates, my barnwood display box is all naked and hanging out on my kitchen floor.  Trust me, she’s a pretty gal alright:

There are lots of things that I can envision putting in this rustic display box if I hang it in my kitchen – small apothecary jars holding coffee, rice, beans, and other kitchen staples, coffee mugs, some type of collection (I love the look of {this collection of shells in a similar vintage display box} by It’s the Little Things). So what do you think? Would you go with the barnwood display box, wait until you could get your hands on the vintage nesting herb crates, or maybe find a place for both?

Update! I ended up getting a set of the nesting herb crates that I hung up in our kitchen:

and I used the barnwood display box to hold supplies in our craft room:

I’m so happy with both!

  1. thx for the shout out Kris! I still adore those nesting boxes and might have to use them somewhere in the new kitchen too.
    Hey, I’d say go for both….you can always use them somewhere. And 4 wks will fly by ……and then they’d be at your door!

    If you’re willing to share the resource for the other numbered crate, I’d love to know!

  2. We are getting a target in my nearest city and I couldn’t be more excited! I love your find, you may be able to lay it down on a dining table or coffee table and decorate it with mason jars and flowers too!

  3. Kris, I obviously speed read your post before coffee this morning….I’m reading it again and noticed you HAD already mentioned Target, duh! I love the idea of the Target rack for the coffee cups!

    • Was just thinking today that the crates would be awesome for hiding the dog leash and baggies (behind something pretty of course!) so I think waiting for those is the answer. A reader recommended using the numbered display box in our craft room, which I hadn’t thought of – may keep them both and go that route! Thanks for your input!

  8. Of course I am loving that bar cart….my current preoccupation! I totally love the barnwood display box for mugs – how perfect is that for coffee drinkers? Buuuuut, the separate herb crates, lined up on a wall…..love that look too. I’m so helpful aren’t I?
