Since we are almost halfway through the wooden barrel season, let’s see, in very suggestive images, what we can do with this container when life drains out of it just like the wine it has so long stored. And since we are talking about wood, it is well-known the material can easily turn into new items and home accessories, ready to serve our new needs. Below are several fine examples of vintage wooden barrel furniture which will bring an original touch to your homes along a good dose of high spirits which the old barrel once epitomized.

A first option is turning the old barrels into truly original seats, fit for outdoor spaces. The new furniture items bring extra rustic savor to any décor where they will be placed.
