There is no end to the number of innovative ways you can use old wooden wine barrels both inside and outside your home. For starters, refinished wine barrels can be incorporated into the rustic decor plans inside your home. A refinished and newly stained or painted wine barrel serves as an excellent accent piece, lamp holder or plant stand. Wine barrels can also be converted into any number of unique designs with multiple functions, from wine barrel coffee tables, end tables, chairs and table bases to unique dog houses, sink foundations and quirky outdoor planters.
Cutting and carving your wine barrel is a wonderful way to spark ideas. A wine barrel cut in half horizontally and sealed can provide the perfect space to host an outdoor water-based planter; tipping your barrel half on its side and using it in an exquisitely manicured garden installation is increasingly popular. On the other hand, cutting your barrel in half vertically opens up all kinds of potential applications. Clever craftspeople have used half barrels in the design of bench seats, swings, ice containers for outdoor patios and old-fashioned coffee tables and related furnishings. Full-sized barrels can also be cut and used for unique wine holders and service carts.
One only has to search the Internet to discover countless creative designs available for repurposed wine barrels. Once you have your idea, you’ll need a barrel. To find the perfect one, contact Brubacher Drums at 519-664-2958. They’re open Monday to Saturday at 855 Arthur Street South in Elmira.
