In vino veritas

Finally finished priming and painting our upstairs wine rack -- to keep the good stuff on hand as opposed to digging around in 'the cellar.' ;) The tray on top is an old pan used by soldiers in the Civil War era to cook over their campfires. Within, we've gathered some vintage liquor bottles found in our attic (!) during our initial renovation phase (way back in 2010), and some not so antique wine paraphernalia. This little guy (the wine rack) fits perfectly in the corner of our small dining room and has come in quite handy. The artwork above is of Mary's beloved camels, procured from India, and is painted on antique paper (that's actually obsolete government documents on letterhead!).
