Repurposed Wine Barrel Inspiration

07/02/14

Hump Dayyyyyyy. Happy half way through the week friends! Hopefully you all have a short week and get to celebrate the 4th on Friday. I’m heading home to NY today to enjoy a nice long weekend with friends and family and the lake 🙂 It’s hard to believe that a year ago at this time we were getting ready for our wedding; time really does fly!

Speaking of our wedding, I had gotten a wine barrel off Craigslist last year to use at the reception and unfortunately keeping it outside during the long cold winter at my parents house did quite the number on it. AKA: it completely fell apart. They were going to toss it, but I knew better than to let scrap wood go to waste.

We used it as a stand for our signature cocktail sign. Man I could go for one of those Blueberry Mojitos right now, they were SO good.

Wedding Wine Barrel Decor

I learned that the curved pieces of wood that make up a wine barrel are called staves. That’s primarily what I have to work with, as well as the circular top and bottom that are still both in one piece.

This light stole my heart the second I laid eyes on it.

I love the idea of this wine rack. So simple but such a statement piece.

Another fabulous light fixture I’m drooling over.

Such a cute little side table!

Wine Stave Table

This is such a modern looking piece, but I love the vintage within it as well. Perfect for a kitchen table centerpiece or just on the counter.

Wine Stave Fruit Holder

This clock would be such a great wall accessory and there are so many different ways I could customize it.

I’m not sure if this is very practical to have around but it’s pretty awesome.

And last but not least, a lazy susan! This would be cool with a monogram on it. Perfect as a gift too!

With all these wonderful ideas, I wish I had more wine barrels to take apart! I’m still trying to decide what I’ll be making but at least now I’ve got lots of ideas to mill around in my head!

Have any of you ever made anything out of an old wine barrel?

Hope you all have a fabulous day!

Our laundry room was the first room we renovated w Our laundry room was the first room we renovated when we moved into this home. Mainly because it was the room my FIL had the least emotional attachment to 🤣 I still love it today but have been needing a little change. I’m in this room ALL the time, and was getting bored of looking at the same stuff! So I switched out the laundry basket, hung some artwork on the tile and changed up my vase and greenery. And it instantly feels just different enough to put a smile on my face and kinda make me want to fold all the kids laundry that’s been sitting in the dryer for far too many days 😜 little changes that make a big impact are my favorite 🙌🏻 truthfully: I daydream about painting the cabinets in here too - they read darker in photos but in real life are much more blue. I’ll save that for another day 😉 but for now I’ll stick to painting my bookcase. Head to stories to catch the first stroke of black! 🖤
Who’s cuter? Dilly or the new legs we added to m Who’s cuter? Dilly or the new legs we added to my barrister bookcase? 😍 you know I’m all about repurposing around here and I love that we were able to take legs and other curved pieces from a $20 table I found on Facebook marketplace and add them to this guy! It wasn’t easy and if you get real close you’ll see lots of screws and chipped veneer 😂 but they’re on and I love them. Celebrating slow progress - because that’s how I’m rolling these days 🤪 can’t wait to start painting soon! #breinspired

5! Our spunky, sassy, passionate, dramatic, kind, 5! Our spunky, sassy, passionate, dramatic, kind, loving, fearless, stubborn, strong willed girl is 5 today and my heart is bursting with pride for who she has become. From the way she is her brothers biggest cheerleader, to the way she lifts me up when I’m feeling stressed and overwhelmed, I’m constantly amazed at the depth of feeling she already has. Eloise I pray you never lose your fierce spirit and beautiful imagination and keep bringing joy to everyone you meet. WE LOVE YOU. 🤍 #birthdaygirl👑
$10 well spent 🙌🏻 I’ll never get tired of $10 well spent 🙌🏻 I’ll never get tired of a good thrift store makeover what about you? I love finding unique treasures that add character to our home, but sometimes they need a little TLC. I didn’t love the swirly stripe on the front of this lamp (which some of you liked - and that’s totally ok!) but that didn’t stop me from buying it and turning it into something I now love 😍 next time you’re at an antique or thrift store, try and look past what you see in front of you and imagine the possibilities of what you could create 😉 next up - gallery wall! #breinspired
Musical trees 🌳 all the changes in Hawk’s roo Musical trees 🌳 all the changes in Hawk’s room gave this giant fiddle a new home in our bedroom. He’s fake. But that rubber tree isn’t 🙌🏻 proof I actually CAN keep them alive, despite what you saw in my stories yesterday 🙈 without that skylight he would for sure be dropping leaves like his poor brother. And on that note, I should probably go water him 🤪 what’s one plant you have the best luck keeping alive?
