If you're buying crates of oranges, peaches, or some other fruit and simply throwing the crate away when it's empty, you're actually missing out on a great opportunity to decorate your home.  

All of the following ideas are tremendously simple and only require a few steps. But the first thing to do is remove any dirt that may be left in the boxes. When they're clean, you can sand them, paint them and coat them with varnish as in this first example...
