Veni, vidi, vino

Never content to rest on my laurels, or even really rest, I decided to convert the ridiculously narrow hall closet (complete with towels folded "Livorna Estates style" in order to fit) into a wine closet as a Christmas gift for my husband. Our wine collection had previously been stored in the hall coat closet, which was reduced by 50% during the remodel to give us more space in the Master Bathroom and thus no longer was large enough to hold the wine, and other assorted closets and cubbies. We really needed the space in our closets for clothing, towels, and the other sundries for which they were designed.

I realized that if we moved the doors out a couple of inches, the wine bottles would fit. So, our contractor came back over and we cooked up a plan. We put in bi-fold doors and added shelves and cleats. It's an imperfect design, but one that'll work well for us. I'm still working on getting labels made so it can all tie together with my husband's already organized inventory system.

Sante!
