Book Review: Making Room

July 26th, 2007

We live in a fairly small home, so maximizing our space is important. This book is so amazing! They have the best ideas, and there are a ton of color photos. Even though it’s not a how-to book, it is jam packed with inspiration for anyone looking to create more space. My favorite idea is the understair storage. They have a few different styles, including pull out drawers, to built in entertainment centers. Why let that space go to waste? It’s brillant.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. I think it’s a must have for anyone who needs more storage in their home, as well as making the home more useful and attractive.

Wine racks with style.

This is a paid review for The Vine Store.

Although we don’t drink, we do buy non-alcoholic sparkling drinks that come in wine shaped bottles, and so we often have to come up with a good place to store them. This site offers a lot of really neat wine racks in a lot of different kinds of designs. I really like the Bali wine rack, it has really cool curves and the color would go well with our other furniture.  Click here to see the photo of the Bali wine rack, and to look at the other fun racks they have.

The site also offers a lot of wine related accessories like wine glasses and decanters. I haven’t seen so many different kinds of glasses before, but maybe all the wine efficinados out there know what to do with all the variations!

They have a 15 day return policy, and they also charge shipping at cost through FedEx or UPS. You also won’t have to pay sales tax if you are ordering outside of Ohio. They really look like they are a good site for people who are looking for wine racks, or wine accessories.
