2 Day Designs has created the most unique and unusual furniture pieces using old white oak wine barrels. It's called their "Wine Tonight Collection". Over 800,000 of these types of wine barrels are produced yearly and typically disposed of after only a few years. What a fun way to go green!

The Vineyard Cart Collection are patterned after antique grape crates that were used in the vineyards of Europe. The original crates were loaded side by side on narrow horse-drawn carts that moved between the rows of vines. As the cart moved through the vineyards, they would unload their "hods" and return to their picking. When the cart became full they would then unload them at the presses and return to the vineyard.

I think these designs are fabulous and I hope you've enjoyed this little piece of history!
