Fun Find....Wine Rack

Hallelujah!

Finally...a way to store wine bottles that's both chic and unique!

The best part: there aren't any of those darn iron grapes that seem to always crop up on perfectly good wine racks.

I'm just head over heels for the 8-bottle rack.

I'm loving the modern minimalism and natural materials (just iron and leather) that make it fit in perfectly with both an industrial kitchen (yes, I'm still thinking about last week's post)and that dark mahogany paneled office/smoking room that your husband has always wanted.

It also comes in a single column version (that holds five bottles) that you could just sit right next to this one if your collection is a little bigger. A square 4 bottle version is also available.

Oh....did I forget to mention the price?

Silly me.

$87.

Knock your socks off affordable for that much design impact?

I think so!

Head over to Kathy Kuo Home to check this out and all of the other fabulous industrial/rustic/Parisian chic items that they have available. It's one of my favorite places to window shop.

Current Obsession....Industrial Stools

In T minus three weeks I will be moving out of my single level apartment and into a fabulous townhouse.

In addition to being on the river (yay!), quadrupling our deck size (double yay!), and joining the rest of the world by parking our cars in a garage...we'll finally have a kitchen worthy of the meals we love to cook.

I'll also have a peninsula now! How exciting!

New peninsula = excuse for stool shopping.

So, of course, I've become obsessed with the industrial chic stools that are flooding the market right now.

Here's a few that have been feeding my obsession:

Contemporary Kitchen design by New York Architect Incorporated

Traditional Kitchen design by Atlanta Interior Designer Yvonne McFadden LLC

Contemporary Kitchen design by Seattle Interior Designer Shuffle Interiors

Modern Living Room design by Houston Architect C O N T E N T Architecture

Modern Kitchen design by New York General Contractor Benco Construction

Eclectic Kitchen design by Chicago Kitchen And Bath Rebekah Zaveloff

I'd settle for any of these kitchens!

As a treat for reading to the end of the post, here a secret:

the buying guide is coming tomorrow!

See you then!
