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.

The Man of Steel, whose repurposed work I’ve featured before, shares a peek into his workshop, which is cleverly organized with upcycled wine crate shelves.  For directions on how to connect fruit crates or wine crates together to make a bookshelf, visit this tutorial.

While this nifty storage solution by Living Etc. is made with an antique apple crate, you can easily attach cute little wheels on a vintage wine crate for the same type of portable appeal and convenience.

    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.

    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

    Thanks for the mention, Grace!

    Now the wheels are really churning, after looking at all these great pictures. I think I’ll have to go back and pick up some more crates.

    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. :)

    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!
