CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS IN A CRATE
Right about now are you wishing you started Christmas planning sooner? Or maybe you live in a 700-square-foot apartment with no room for a six-foot tree. That’s the fun of creating a Christmas crate. You get all the Hallmark feels in a wood crate. 
CHRISTMAS CRATE IN THE ENTRY
I found inspiration from Jennifer Grace House Interiors.
And on a total aside- I love her stairs in the background.
What better way to welcome the holidays than in our entryways?
If you don’t have a crate you could Mod Podge an Amazon box! Or, grab a basket! Or, if you want a Charlie Brown tree check out this idea.
We are limited only by our imaginations!
Supply List for a Christmas Crate:

CHRISTMAS CRATE
I started with my favorite crate from a popular, boutique grocery market. Tony’s Market located in the Denver metro area.
I got this crate years ago when I hosted an annual mother-daughter ornament exchange. This wood crate was once filled with breaded chicken fingers!
I started with the crate and some small potted trees I found at Hobby Lobby. It added some much-needed color to our entry bench.
I followed this with a strand of garland and berry garland to add a pop of color to the wood crate.
I love the simplicity of the crate. It adds an instant pop of Christmas to an entry.
Did you see what I snuck into the crate? I added a little votive like these to turn on when friends, family members, or our dogs come through the front door.
Laura, what a cool crate. I love that you left it natural with the store logo. The blanket adds color and pattern. The trees add a soft texture it all comes together beautifully. Happy Holidays!!
This is so pretty! I love the trees and your box and I am totally swooning over the addition of that plaid blanket!
You’ve done a beautiful job with your Christmas crate, Laura! No, I wouldn’t have guessed what the crate held before. It’s so perfect for your whole vignette, and I love how whimsical it all looks. Happy Thanksgiving!
I love that you added a little votive for the dogs! LOL. They must feel so special. You crate turned out wonderfully and your guests or family members will enjoy the warm welcome. Thank you for joining in. Great job! Happy Thanksgiving!
Laura, I LOVE all the rustic vibes of your “Christmas in a Crate”. So simple, yet such an impact!
I had such fun participating this month with you all in the Pinterest Challenge! Looking forward to next time! 🙂

Such a pretty way to greet the new season! I’m sure your dogs will love the votive;) The plaid blanket totally pops everything!
I love that crate. So fun. What a darling entry piece.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
What a lovely Christmas crate, Laura! Gotta love HL mini Christmas trees! Your vignette is perfect on your rustic bench, and I love that we got to see the whole vignette! Pinned!
I have an old crate. Maybe I’ll try this! Yours looks fabulous!
Your box is so darn cute! I love how you accented it with assorted touches of greenery. Bravo!
Laura,
I loved the box you chose for this challenge. Beautiful job. So happy to be doing this challenge with you.

Your version is so pretty, Laura, and it looks fabulous in your entryway. I love that the crate has special meaning to you since you used it for a mother-daughter ornament exchange. Enjoy your pretty display this holiday season!
