Primitive Albion Orange Crate

Here is yet another rustic, primitive crate I found at the flea market.  Let's just say I have never found one I didn't want to bring home.  I think this one is more rustic than the last one.

 I searched the internet and found a wonderful vintage style produce label for Albion oranges.  But when I finished the crate, it just didn't look right so I am leaving this just painted without the label and will save that for yet another project.  I copied the letter style on the label which was a three color logo.  I rather like it this way.  It's very patriotic and I should have kept it for closer to Memorial Day, but here it is.

 My husband added the cross bar for me because there was no carrying handle.  I hit it with two coats of Leafy Green by Rustoleum in the spray can.  You can see it's still full of rustic wood and loosely placed nails.

 It's still a great caddy and will hold a lot of things.

 Here is what it looked like when I started.  It looks a little better now.  What do you think?
