Managedmoms.com team member and writer, Bridget, owner of D.O.A. Interiors who is our resident design on a dime expert, recently turned a good garage sale find into the perfect cool home decor item. This is such a clever idea and it would be super fun to give as a gift to a wine loving gal pal (I am blessed to have a few of those in my life) so check this out…

I recently went to a local garage sale and found this unique looking bin. 
It is made of solid wood and I loved it, but the lady wanted $20 for it, which was more than I wanted to pay. Since it was the end of the day and she was getting ready to shut down, I was able to talk her down to $8, and considering that it is from Pottery Barn (my favorite place to shop to look for decorating decor), I was very pleased with my bargain purchase!

So, I added four of my favorite wines (it can even hold bigger bottles) and I put two hooks in the wood to hang my wine opener and wine bottle stopper.
I set it on a wicker mat and put it in the center of my table. I love how it came out and having Vino with my gal pals is lots of fun with this cool contraption as our lovely centerpiece. Cheers to good garage sale finds!
