  1. The coffee table blew me away!! I’m using an old Family trunk and I love it but the crate table is bigger! It might be too big for our space but, honestly, I think it is fantastic and very, very charming!!! Thanks!

  2. What a great post. Who knew what you could do with crates. I love the coffee table. Looks so neat. Please share more about Jonathan(and yourself) how the move has gone. Are you there yet? Who is managing your other children to and from school etc. when you are gone? I think you are superwoman. You do so much and have such a lovely family.
