Trend Alert: Wine With Everything
Drinking wine is more popular than ever, and now the oenophile trend is extending to home decor as well. Lately, I've noticed the iconic stemmed wine-glass shape is showing up in clever serving pieces — such as this Jansen + Co. Ming Oil and Vinegar Set ($28) — as well as candle holders, light fixtures, and one very cool doorbell.

Love It or Hate It? Dixie Cup Wine Glasses
The shape of this wine glass is based on the generic shape of the Dixie cup, a form we're all familiar with. These Sommelier Wine Glasses, designed by Maxim Velokovsky, were made of borosilicate glass and each one is very slightly different, apparently to "take the form as far away from its plastic, mass-produced origins as possible."

DIY: Wine Glass Candle Lampshades
In your blog travels, you may have come across the Dekoop Gorgeous Helen Wine Shades ($20), which tops off your wine glasses to make easy votive lamps for your parties.

Casa Verde: Wine Heals All Moves
Moving into a new home can be overwhelmingly exciting, but it often consumes a bit of time and money. Perhaps the toughest and most tedious project of all is packing up glasses and other small fragile items.

Love It or Hate It? BettyLou Cordless Lamp
The Mmckenna BettyLou Cordless Lamp ($275) is a cordless rechargeable lamp that sits on a wine glass and shines for over seven hours, until it needs to be recharged on its base. If you're a wino, this is probably right up your alley. But then again, you might be tempted to use the included glass to serve yourself some Sauvignon Blanc .
Cool Idea: CandlestickMaker
I've got a fragrant candle for the Winter season, but my candlestick collection could use a fresh, not-so-stuffy update. When it comes wine glasses, though, I'm good to go — my recycling bin will confirm this. So, I was delighted to come across the Designfenzider CandlestickMaker ($30),which will turn any wine glass into a whimsical candlestick holder.
How-To: Drum Up a Side Table
A sunny Sunday and a rockin' antique fair make for one happy salvage queen. Inspired by the musical coffee table I spotted recently, I saw a few skins at a local flea market that caught my attention. While I don't need a coffee table, the size of these green guys had me thinking hmmm .
Casa Quickie: Let Wine Lend a Hand
If you need a reason to justify all the glasses of wine you're consuming, consider the benefits a used up wine cork can offer. Instead of tossing the porous stopper into the recycling bin, reuse it in your own home. It turns out corks make fine knife cleaners.
DIY: Wine Shelf
Here's a post from CasaSugar Community member Pretty Little Things from the Su Casa group:
Moving in to my new apartment I realized that I needed a space for my gazillion wine glasses ( I swear when you're in your 20s this must be like the default gift for people!). Well in searching for a solution I came up with this; an old soda crate turned into wine storage, and easily! I just took some vintage soda crates my mom has and bought an under the cabinet wine rack, installed it, and voila.
Cool Idea: Ikea Bookcase Turned Bar
AT:NY recently featured a house tour of readers Tyler & Jules's NYC home, whose digs have been featured twice before on AT and once on HGTV. The latest reincarnation of their home boasts gray and blue walls, colorful accents, and trendy patterns and furnishings; all in all, it's fun! But the one thing that stood out to me as really clever was their bar, which they crafted from an Ikea Lack Shelving Unit ($80) by turning it on its side and adding legs.
