This was a fun project..
I found this bookshelf/cabinet in really bad shape on the street in my neighborhood with a FREE sign on it. It had a nice granite countertop but it also had no doors, no shelves (but it had shelf holes on the far left and right sides), and no backing at all. I added new panels to the sides of each section to cover the shelf holes, cut a new panel for the back, then sanded it down to the bare wood and stained/poly'd it with mohagany. Then I used three Oenophilia Alexander 60 bottle racks that I had to cut down, and grind the sides to fit in the sections. I'll be able to use the scraps from those to build a 4 1/2 case rack !! (Another project, yeah !!) I found these racks on Zappos for $47 each, regularly over $100 on other sites, but they are gone now, sorry. Then I added rope lighting to the top and 'wow' that really added to the look.
What do you all think? The entire project for under $200 !!!
