The internet is a seemingly endless fountain of do-it-yourself projects that promise to improve your home and your life if you just take the time to braid your own rug, organize the basement, or cover your floor in pennies bathed in a thick layer of polyurethane…
Some of those projects might be a bit too ambitious for you, or maybe somewhat underwhelming. Still, have you ever thought about having your own wine cellar? If you have, this may be just the project for you.
At first glance, the access to this wine cellar looks like a very oddly placed window. Once you go beyond the reflections, you discover that the glass is an access door to a staircase that leads to the homeowner’s private, compact wine cellar. The design featured in these examples can hold between 1,000 and 1,600 bottles of wine. If you have a few favorites you’re sure to find plenty of room for them in that space.
Whether the access door is a rectangular panel in a plank or tile floor or a round, shatterproof door in a fine laminated wood floor, you’re sure to feel a bit like Alice going down the rabbit hole into your own Wonderland when you visit your own custom wine cellar.
