My husband, Keith and I are really proud of this piece. We had so much fun designing and working on this together! It's one of our best pieces!
I found this small child's size dresser in the trash on the side of the road. A couple of the drawer fronts were broken on the bottom, but the rest of it was still in pretty good shape and I thought it would be no big deal to fix the broken drawers and just repaint it. But then I starting thinking that leaving it as a dresser was pretty boring. I considered converting it into a bar, but that wasn't quite right either. All of a sudden it came to me - a wine station! My original idea was to put cross bars in the bottom to form racks to hold the wine bottles. But once we took the bottom drawers out and saw the bars that held the drawers we had the great idea of cutting rounded slots into them and creating bigger scalloped bars in the back to hold the wine bottles. Another part of my plan was to use dowel rods close together on the side to hold the wine glasses by their stems but Keith came up with the great idea of using the fronts of the broken drawers. He cut the drawer fronts in half; because they already had an attractive beveled edge; and then cut channels to hold the wine glasses. This was such a better idea than my dowel rod idea! We added a rack on the other side to hold a towel and this was created from a wooden toliet paper holder and a small table leg. I replaced the super ugly Colonial drawer pulls with new more attractive pulls and painted the whole thing a nice glossy black.
The wine rack holds 12 bottles of wine and holds 8 wine glasses. The remaining drawer can be used to store your wine supplies such as corkscrews and bottle stoppers.
Keith and both love this piece, but we don't drink wine! So we are offering it for sale to all you wine lovers out there!
