Spotted the basis for this project on the curb the other day during junk pickup....Some sort of Ikea type thing, that had casters under a larger base, and a glass cupboard style door broken, with too many pieces missing to tell what it had been....maybe part of a 'cutesy' plant stand or some such,...Anyhow, salvaged the center shelf unit and added two pieces of 1x6, top and bottom. Painted her up, and,...It turned out to be perfect for the upstairs hallway.... There was a lot of orphan bottles hidden away on dark shelves that needed some fresh air....Here's the finished project.[;)]

Have you ever seen the Canadian TV show "Junk Raiders"? They feature freecycle projects like this.

You did a nice job with that -- it's a great-looking shelf now. I never would have guessed it was something else.

I've got 3 kids running around the house these days, with much bottle breakage potential. I tend to not display my good bottles as much as I used to ( I display the colorful, damaged ones :) But some day down the road, I look forward to having shelves of bottles out in view like you have there.

I really like the use of that shelf unit. I think I'll steal your idea, if you dont mind
