wine glasses and barn board


we live in a tiny apartment. when i'm feeling positive, i might say something like 'it's so nice how it inspires unexpected creative solutions'. (i'm not going to tell you what i say when i'm not feeling positive!) this wine glass holder is one of those creative solutions.


i used an old board i had in my shop, wine glass holders from ikea, a little sandpaper and poly, and voila!


this little wall unit houses our radio, television, cloth napkins, card games, various knick-knacks and now- wineglasses. small space solution #2,631

This is really gorgeous. I'd love to see a shot with the window cabinet open.

The cabinet is even beautiful open! The fabric-covered paned window adds a touch of class to the TV.

Did you ever have a problem with the wine glasses sliding off the holders over time? I just got these and were a little worried about putting my nicer glasses on them....

i haven't had any problems- but they made me nervous too! i bent them a bit so they didn't slope down as much.
some friends have them too and they didn't bend theirs and they never lost any glasses either ;)
