Take your wine rack outdoors and make it a fun display piece with plants in each little area where the bottles of wine would go.

If your wine rack has holes you could use plywood to place in the areas to help cover so it will hold potting soil. Then you can plant items like succulents, or strawberries in each slotted area, and leave it out for display.

Only use plants that will drape or not grow in an up way, so it doesn’t fall out of the rack.

Take your wine rack into your mudroom or closet and use it to store shoes. If you have a bunch of slip-on shoes, they will slide right into the hole if you have the right size wine rack for the job. Your wine rack will really be like a piece of furniture.

If you can add a personal touch, do so! It just might be the perfect way to store your shoes.

In The Kitchen

Take your cling wrap, aluminum foil, and other kitchen essentials and place them in the wine rack holes. This is a great holder that you can easily see what item is what, and use when needed.
