Making our own Wine Crate







My husband was at the wood store and found some neat oak with worm holes.  He thought it'd make a fun box, so he got to work making a wine crate.



He used the wormiest part of the wood to make the top.

When he finished, we set it downstairs and kind of forgot about it....

I received a Cricut machine for Christmas and was eager to make something with it.  I then remembered the wine crate...

I put a dark stain on it then let it sit for a few days.









I found a label that I liked and kind of copied it, but with my limited Cricut skills, I used graphics from their site to make it my own. 









I think it turned out pretty neat!

Adding the Finishing Touch to the Laundry Room--A Sliding Barn Door

 
The laundry room project is now officially done with the addition of the barn door! 
 
 
 
 
The old laundry room had a door that swung in (and took up a lot of room!)  Our friend wanted a custom door on a barn door slider. 
 
 
 
 
 
My husband got to work.  She lives in a 100+ year old house and wants the old style doors throughout. 
 

 
 
 
 

He made this door and left the opening for glass.  She chose seeded glass which adds some privacy.


 
We installed the barn door hardware purchased from Amazon. 
 
 
 
 This was my first attempt of a vinyl cutout with my new Cricut machine.  I think it turned out pretty snazzy!
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
The new door keeps the sounds from the washer and dryer down and looks fab! 


Here's her redone laundry room.  It really turned out great!
 
Thanks for your visit!
