For me, bamboo adds just the right amount of exotic flare...it's sustainable and eco-friendly too. I found this great wine holder at the goodwill {talk about being green, buy second-hand!}, really cheap.
Four dollars later, my new wine rack and I were on the way home. Never mind the fact we don't drink...I had other ideas! This is a versatile piece! It doesn't have to hold just wine bottles...letters, or vintage seltzer bottles, that would be cute too!
BEFORE:
Not bad, but it looked a little too tiki for me...I wanted to update it with some paint
DURING:
Rustoleum Primer, of the spray paint variety.
AFTER:

Exotic slash Coastal slash kitschy slash love it!
It's going to help me corral my magazine collection for a while! I photographed it with just a few magazines, but it really holds a lot!
Very Cottage,coastal, Kitch.
