Hi friends!!
I hope you’ve had a lovely Easter, we’ve been busy these last weeks planning things to enjoy outdoors the lovely weather we are having, and finishing some projects I had in mind.
I don’t know if you remember the bench I did last week and that it was my first project using power tools on my own, but I was so excited I was able to do it that I started immediately to look for other things around here to change.
My eyes spotted this
My husband fell in love with this wine rack about 12 years ago, and it has moved with us twice… I always had the hope it could get lost in one of those moves, but unfortunately, it didn’t. So here it was, in front of me, and I decided it needed “something”.
The most annoying thing about it (apart from the eyesore) is when I had to move it to clean. It is heavy and this means I needed to pull it, and then it made a horrible noise. Casters, it needed some casters… but where, how??
I took a piece of laminate wood, measured the legs and planned to drill some holes to make them sit on the wood.
Perfect!!
It was the turn for the casters.
Once they were attached to the wood, I measured the hight.
I cut some wood to get mitered corners using the table saw.
I nailed them in place.
I also used some wood filler to prepare it for the paint job.
Some priming before I spray painted it.
I thought this little cord would look nice around the base adding some detail.
If you remember the top, it was glass. I decided I didn’t like it that way too, so while working on the rest I designed a chevron paper and took it to my copy shop to print. I decoupaged it and painted a soft gray line all around.
The last thing was to spray paint the wine rack and seal it with varnish to protect.
It is so easy to move it now it’s on wheels!
If you are wondering why there is an empty bottle there it’s because it is so pretty I can’t throw it away. That will be another project.
Those glasses were a gift on my parents’ wedding. One broke some years ago but now we take good care of them.
I hope my husband likes it as much as I do! At least, I hope he will be happy it is easier to move.
Thanks for stopping by, have a great week! If you want to see some other projects you will find them at the Gallery.
Hugs,
Pili

Look at you Miss! This is major power tool work here! I love, love how you hid the wheels. No one would even know. And you gave it a makeover and it looks fabulous. The white color and the pattern on top suits it perfectly!
I told you, Mary, I am hooked!! Now I just hope it doesn’t get lost on our next move 😉
Thanks so much for your sweet comments!
Hahahaha, Pili you had me laughing out loud, I love this post! The wine rack looks amazing! And wow, you are rockin those power tools like no one now! and the empty bottle, well, I wouldn’t have noticed but it was too funny and yes, it is pretty!
Don’t tell me it wasn’t horrible before, Katrin! I couldn’t stand it anymore, and I look at it now and think, ok, you can stay a bit longer lol!
Pili, you’re doing a wonderful job with those power tools!! I can’t wait for your next project!! The makeover you gave the wine rack is awesome!! I love the lighter colors!! How convenient it’s on wheels now, so you can move it easily to clean under it! Yay! Great job Pili!!
Thank you Keri! I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been up to with my now beloved power tools!
I agree, this wine rack is great now it’s on wheels. Maybe the cleaning was just an excuse… 😉
Such a nice transformation!

I LOVE THIS!!!! I might even try to find something similar and do it. My husband loves scotch so I could make this for him as a gift. Thanks Pili for sharing another great idea with us at Over the Moon.
I am sure your husband would love it! I think they are happy having a place to keep their drinks and sharing with friends too.

It was in a huge need of something, Sally. Thanks for visiting!
This is so cute! Every woman needs a Wine Rack! #brillblogposts
Thank you so much! I don’t know if I need one, but I’m happy to have it now.
Pili, What a huge difference a little bit of paint makes. The after is stunning. The white paint looks so clean and makes it much more stylish. As well as the Chevron pattern on top. The glasses are just sparkling now with the light bouncing off the white paint. I am so impressed with your prowess with the power tools. Miter cuts are not easy, and look at you just whipping it out like a pro. I hope your husband loved it when he came home it is such an improvement!
Nikki, I agree, paint can make all the difference. The chevron paper is the same I have as a background for my blog, but a bit lighter.
Pili, you are just rocking the power tools! I like how you added the pretty chevron paper to the top. Your husband must’ve been pleased with the results. As for the empty bottle, I hear ya! I save the pretty ones too.
Thank you, Marie! I am having so much fun using them, even I still have a lot to learn. My husband is coming back this week, so maybe he doesn’t recognize the home lol.
What a great project Pili! Your wind rack looks amazing now. Love how you hit the casters. Brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing at Vintage Charm.
I am pleased with it too, Tuula. I didn’t want the casters to show so I had to think about something and I think it turned out nice.
Thanks so much for visiting and hosting!
