Our tips site has prepared a selection of photos for you.
The portal has already written about how you can arrange a place for a dog in the house and on the street. But we have not yet had such an option! Just a vertically sawn wooden barrel with a cut-out for a pet’s passage and a soft pillow is a wonderfully cute and comfortable place for a dog. In the second photo there is a street booth, if you can call that a structure with a convenient stand for bowls and a flower bed on the roof.
Wooden barrels have always been associated with wine! You can beat this by cutting the barrel vertically, filling it with wine corks, placing it on low feet and covering it with tempered glass. A very interesting version of the coffee table turned out!
A similar option, but the table top at the coffee table is a barrel made of solid wood, and the legs are more noticeable and higher.
This time, they decided to cut the barrel horizontally. The result is a compact ottoman table.
In general, there are a lot of options for original furniture from old wooden barrels! Most often, of course, these are tables and chairs, both for the street and for the home. But you can make, for example, bedside tables and even build a small wine refrigerator into the barrel.
A wooden barrel, unlike a metal one, of course, will not become a brazier, but quite an unusual flowerbed! Moreover, both high enough, without cutting, and low – all at the request of the owners.
Of course, a wooden barrel is ideal for creating a home mini-bar, as we already wrote about..
And finally, the original frame for the mirror made of a trimmed wooden barrel. Moreover, the shortcomings of the old tree are emphasized, it was they who became the highlight of this decor.
