Homeowners get really, really excited about basement storage. But do you blame me? Look at this shelving unit! 
I was looking at the IKEA wood shelving units because they were cheap and because they had an option for a wine rack, but then my dad offered to make me something. The materials were the same price as IKEA, but I ended up with more storage and exponentially better quality. (I could use those shelves as bunk beds if I had to!)
And I even got a wine rack: 
Dad surprised me with one that holds twenty-five bottles and takes up exactly half of one shelf. I blame exposure to the J. Peterman catalog at a young age, but I’ve always wanted to be the person who has the right wine on hand (including champagne). Now I can be that person–thanks, Dad!
(Somebody else gets excited about basement storage, too.)
I are scootin’ thru deez shelves of awesomes!
Who knew the J Peterman catalog could be so harmful to young minds!
(Excellent shelves, btw. Commendations to your dad!)
Woah! That is seriously amazing. Your dad is a wonder.
Congratulations! I see some more canning and preserving in your future. I’m a bit jealous, I miss the joys of basement storage.
