Out with the "New", In with the "Old"...wine crate shelves...

 

I've been slowly changing out anything "new" and replacing it with "old" junky character...this is a spot I've looking to re-do for a while now. Finally took out that "newer" store bought cupboard and replaced it with these repurposed wine boxes.


Because the wall sticks out there behind the "stool", I needed something shallow. I tried MANY boxes and drawers before finally finding these wine boxes and they were the perfect fit.

The wine "theme" works well because this is our guest bathroom which is off of the familyroom and small bar area.


Already filled 'em up...


Do you see an angel???


Every room needs a "cloche" of some sort, right?


Those are my kiddos...I like to remember when they were that little.


I made these little tealight holders by gluing mini jello molds to insulators.


And these pedestal bowls by gluing bigger Jello molds to light fixture bases. All stacked up...


Bathroom fixture handles make unique and kind of silly bowl fillers.

    Your wine boxes are great. And, I love those numbers tucked into your shelves.

    If you have a minute, check out my latest blog post and you will see what I did to "reuse" some old things I had.

    I just love what you've been doing in your last couple of posts really inspiring here. You have creatively found a spot for the shelves and filled them with all sorts of treasures. Really places your signature on your work.

    Cool! Love the wine shelving- and love the items you used to decorate them. I also am trying to "renovate" our home with older items with more character. Good luck!
