If you are looking for a cool project this spring then a wine barrel cabinet just might be perfect for you. Re-purposing items is a great way to save money, save items from the landfill and create a conversational piece that can last a lifetime. If you were motivated enough it would also be a great addition to an etsy store for a little extra added income.
