From Wine to Divine: Repurposed Wine Crate Ideas
Rachel at Heart of Light recently shared with us her balcony’s lovely repurposed wine crate planter, and it reminded me of the wine crate entertainment system that I construted fresh out of college, without any furniture and a breadcrumb non-profit job salary. Alas, I don’t have any photos to share, as I only picked up digital photography in the last few years, but here are some other repurposing wine crate ideas that will have you thinking twice about befriending your local wine shop’s owner.

I have an old wine box, the kind that are supposed to hold two bottles and have the cut-out shapes to stabilize them. I have had it since I was in high school and someone brought it to me from their after-school grocery job. I have yet to do anything with it but this certainly got me thinking.
Great ideas! Now it’s time to scrounge up some wine crates…
Love this idea! I have been eyeing that pic from the selby for some time now. I think I may need to do something like this in my library.
Thanks for sharing.
Love the pet bed and feeders but the household storage looks a bit cluttered
Wow, what neat ideas. Thanks for always passing them on to us. Hmmm…inexpensive and chic storage systems. Always a good thing.

I foresee some kind of revolution if this keeps up, maybe not necessarily a violent 1, but some kind of dramatic shift.

I think that is an interesting point, it made me think a bit. Thanks for sparking my thinking cap. Sometimes I get so much in a rut that I just feel like a record.
Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page. I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search.
This is an informative post, thanks a lot!

Forgot to add that your code will work great comparing objects when you didn`t create them. Just address the object within an object issue and I think you are ready to go!
