A Dream of a Wine Cellar

We recently had professional photos taken of a home wine cellar project we completed for a homeowner in Minnetonka, Minnesota.  It was a beautiful space and, frankly, the photos we took with our standard camera just couldn't capture the beauty of the space.  With a bottle capacity of over 900 bottles, beautiful mahogany racking with a wheat stain finish, a reclaimed wood ceiling and floor, a beautiful arch entrance and a wine tasting area featuring custom brick work and a rustic wood beamed ceiling, this truly is a dream wine cellar. 

So, we asked our good friend and talented photographer, Mark Ehlen of Ehlen Creative Communications, to come out a photograph the project (click here to see another project of ours he photographed).  Stocked with wine bottles provided by Parley Lake Winery in Waconia, Minnesota, the photos are stunning and we couldn't be happier for the homeowner and more proud of our work. To view the complete set of photos from the photo shoot, visit our Houzz project page here.

Thank you to the homeowners who so generously allowed us to come in and photograph their home, to Mark Ehlen for his outstanding photography and to Parley Lake Winery for providing their award winning, locally grown wine for the photo shoot.

Faux Stone Panels For A Wine Cellar

We recently completed a beautiful wine cellar for a customer.  What made the wine cellar really special was the faux stone paneling on the back wall.  Now, we know what you are picturing, a tacky 1970-esque brick wall that everyone can tell is fake.

Not the case.  Faux brick has benefited immensely from advances in technology and today's faux brink is realistic, lightweight, inexpensive and easy to install.  Made from polyurethane, the stone panels generally come in 7 sq. foot sections and are available in almost every stone or brick option and color you can dream of.  Check out www.fauxpanels.com to view all of the options available.

Our client chose a tan weathered old Chicago style brick panel that added instant character to the space, an outdated basement room they had us convert into a wine cellar.  Now, rather than a room that collects clutter, our client has a beautiful wine cellar that brings value to their lives and their home.  If you would like to see more photos of this project from start to finish, click here to see them on our Houzz page.
