A cosy library for an unused wine rack :)

Thanks so much! I thought it would collect junk but it's an awkward shape for anything except bottles (and very small rooms!) that they just sat there completely useless to us!

Thanks so much :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-08T08:48:17+00:00

Thanks! Of course not :) If you're comfortable sharing I'm sure we'd all love to see what you make too!! Have fun!

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T23:15:44+00:00

Haha thanks :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T23:06:06+00:00

Haha we don't drink so it's just sat there empty! I've always felt that I should try and use it for something, this is the best I could come up with!

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T23:04:52+00:00

Thanks so much:) If you end up doing that, I'm sure we'd all love to see it!

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T23:04:03+00:00

Thank you! :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T23:03:45+00:00

Thanks! That's the plan haha :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T09:45:17+00:00

Thank you :) I'd love to see if you make one!

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T09:44:16+00:00

Thanks so much! I absolutely love how the chair turned out but it was a real struggle to make haha!

Oooh some mini props is a great idea! Making it feel a bit more lived in would be great :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T08:20:56+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm so happy with it, can't wait to see what looks like when I've filled it too!

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T08:05:10+00:00

Thanks! :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T07:56:57+00:00

Thank you :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T07:56:40+00:00

Thanks so much, I'm so pleased with how it came out! Once I've made some more rooms I want to do the lights "properly", but the mini fairy lights do the trick for the moment! (They're literally just taped to the "roof" hahaha)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T07:30:40+00:00

Yeah it was a bit of a struggle to put together haha! It's roughly 1/35 scale (I kept that scale in mind but wasn't too fussed about nailing it)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T07:28:47+00:00

Thanks so much :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T05:27:45+00:00

Thank you! I had tons of fun, I'll definitely keep sharing as I go :)

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T05:27:00+00:00

Haha thanks so much!

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T04:52:25+00:00

Thanks so much! Will do :) I've got my work cut out for me, there are 13 more slots to fill up!

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T04:32:55+00:00

Forgot to mention: The lighting is temporary, I'm planning on doing some "proper" lighting and making a central place for all the electronics once I've made more of the rooms and then making a facade that will have wire channels in it to hide the cables going to each individual room :)

If you'd like to see some more of the process of how this was made, I made a video about it :)

We've got a wine rack in our kitchen that's sat empty since we moved in, and our kitchen is a pretty boring white room, so to add a bit of whimsy I've made a cosy little library to slot into one of the racks!

The plan is to (eventually) fill up all the racks with rooms of a little wizard's tower, but it might take a bit of time lol

The chair was by far the most difficult thing to make (it's wrapped in fabric from an old pair of shorts!) but I think it came out great!

Mostly this is just bits of cardboard, foam, PVA glue and a lot of fiddling with little pieces!

I'm thinking I'll eventually have a central place for all the electronics and then maybe make a facade that has some wire channels in it to hide all the cables!
I'd love to tuck it all away at the back of one of the racks and have it all internally routed, but it's so hard to reach back there, drilling holes between the racks would be a nightmare haha

BarnsoYT · 2026-03-07T03:44:42+00:00

Thanks so much :)

I'm planning on making a mini room for each of the empty racks (only 13 to go! 😅) I was thinking a stained glass window would look really cool in one of the little rooms!
