Milk crates are all the rage right now!


Okay I don't know if that's completely true but it seems like it. Since they are mass-produced though, they are readily available. If you want your own, it should be no problem finding some.

Just take a peek behind the milk aisle at the grocery store and you'll see them back there all stacked up, doing their job.

Of course the logical thing to do with them would be to just use them to hold things but you can get more creative than that...
