Wood Wine box Decor

I love FREE wall decorations! When we stage properties, we are often on a tight budget. So free really works. Lately, we have been utilizing wood wine boxes. They make a wonderful gallery wall of "shadow boxes". They come in various sizes and depths, which makes for interesting arrangements.

Wine boxes also create more visual weight than the average piece of art. So, if you have an area, like a long wall, that needs to be broken up and you can't or don't want to use a piece of furniture, try wine boxes. In this particular room, we had an unusual dilemma, a 35 foot brick wall with a ledge running along the floor next to it. While the wall desperately needed to be visually broken up, a piece of furniture against it was not an option. Enter the wood wine boxes...

Note that some of our wine boxes have backs and others do not. I picked them up from local wine shops. Then, "stained" them with a vinegar and steel wool stain. 

This is idea also works well with only one or two wine boxes, if you have a smaller space. 

Consider pairing a wine box with framed pictures or less traditional art, like the carved wood block (used for printing) seen on top of the "Ravenswood" box
