a good idea..

Bonjour from a sunny but chilly SW France,

Hope that you had a nice weekend. We spent yesterday afternoon at a furniture auction but I will tell you more about that later in the week.

Last weekend we bought a lot of wine cases as we thought that they would make good storage, as shown in the photo above.

I particularly liked the idea of making a set of drawers with them or perhaps even a serving tray like this.

We have quite a few boxes and wine box ends so any ideas that you have would be gratefully received...


Mille mercis et bonne semaine a tous.....

  1. Love your picture of the shop through the open purple door! Just a tantalising glimpse inside of artefacts perfect for the maison francaise...

  7. Love the tray! I used a bunch of wine crates once and took them apart and covered the top of a table in them. The table had a little lip around it. I glued them down and then used a dark wood stain, it was Gorgeous!!! Good luck with your projects!
