I've Been Thinking about Dining Room Storage.....

We currently have a family heirloom table and chairs mismatched with a sideboard we got from a neighbor years ago that was cleaning out her home. It's still a great piece but DEFF doesn't match what we have now or what we are aiming for in terms of style, comfort, ease of use, etc.

I'm planning on sending the sturdy sideboard to the basement hangout space (a remodel job in the planning stages to make it a real family room/ den/ hubby's office space) for now with the TV from our bedroom and my parents old green indoor/outdoor rug to help create a temporary space for hanging out and video games, etc. The sideboard can also hold all our board games as well.
I'm still toying with our current wine rack which originally came from Target some 4 yrs ago. It doesn't hold the liquor (since it was made for wine) so its stacked on top - not my favorite place for that stuff. So. I've been looking at alternatives for both the sideboard and the wine rack. Here are some options I have found that are quickly growing on me!

This creates a sort of sideboard and the cabinets would allow for some storage and also all the reg liquor. Not sure we have enough wine to fill even one of those sides though!

This arranges a few more blocks to create a more massice piece. I don't want something this big right now, but its nice to know for a later date maybe?

This is a pic of the 4 pieces you can mix and match to create your own piece.

I like this general arrangement of the wine glass storage along with the base. I would make the shelves in a single line or stacked on top of one another and not staggered like above. Hmmmmm. If we do the wine storage on the wall with the glasses ....... we could do solid cabinets on the bottom which would look more like a buffet!

We have so many wine glasses! And champagne glasses! I bought myself a large set of each on a great Crate & Barrel sale years ago but the wine glasses have slowly been broken and we've gotten smaller sets from friends, etc. I would love to be able to get them out of their boxes and out for use! I also think this makes lovely wall art too. I know, I'm a bit strange, but its useful and good storage and glasses are so pretty!
