Repurposed Wine Thingies

I'm not much of a wine drinker... if you read this post, you know I think beer is where it's at.  I'll show you how to take a couple of items intended for wine bottles and make them useful for something else!

This is my IKEA wine bottle holder.

I don't have much wine, but I do have a lot of these!
I put some hooks on the wall for the dishtowels that are currently "in use" and I keep the fresh ones rolled up in the bottle holder.  We have very little drawer space in our kitchen so I figured I'd just put it all on the wall.  This would work great in a bathroom too!

It needed a little something on the top, so I put up our measuring spoons.

Here's another idea... this is a grocery store wine bottle carrier
It is also my favorite brush carrier!
 I know this isn't how many pros carry around their brushes, but hey, it works for me.

because no one likes to save these cover things for storing their brushes (or is it just me?)

And if you like to drink on the job...
Kidding!  You know I'm kidding, right?

Do you have a favorite repurposed item in your home?  Tell me about it in the comments!
Blessings,
Jamie

  3. This isn't a huge re-purposing idea, but I use a wall mounted Ikea magazine holder to keep the kids' colouring books organized and easy to access.

  6. Great ideas. We have several of the grocery store wine bags and now live in a state where you can't readily buy wine, so we never use them. I like the idea of repurposing it!

    Have a great day.

  15. What a creative idea for towels!! Like you, I have far more kitchen towels than bottles of wine and as I recall that IKEA rack was pretty cheap. Neither my kitchen or baths have drawer space. So glad I found this.
