Tara Heibel: Meet The 'Perfect House Plant'
A 50's Home Gets A Modern Day New Look
In Random Recast, we find new uses for everyday items. This week: Wine bottles.
Today's project is an amazingly simple one: Use leftover wine bottles as dispensers for olive oil, vinegar or anything that you can possibly pour. Smaller ones (such as splits and bottles of dessert wine) are better for food-related pourables, since it seems unlikely that you'd want a 750mL dispenser of olive oil handy. Save the larger ones for stylishly serving water, bistro style.
A few notes before you do this: You can remove all labels and stickers easily by soaking the bottle in soapy water overnight. And for a controlled pour, fit the bottle with a nozzle (like the OXO Olive Oil Pourer from Crate and Barrel, though cheaper options are available at craft and baking supply stores) and you're ready to go.

I buy almost everything except food and clothing from online penny auctions. Most people aren't aware of the almost unbelievable deals that they can get from online auction sites. The site that has the biggest selection and the best deals is hTtp://bit.ly/BiggestDeals and I checked with the Better Business Bureau and was told that it is all legit. How they can sell gift cards, laptops, cameras, and all kinds of goodies that we all want for 50-90% off, I don't know. I do know that I bought my son an iPad there for less than $100 and my husband a $250 Lowes gift cards for $48. Why would I even think about shopping anyplace else?
ReplyI use mine for dish washing soap. It works great and it is better than a plastic bottle of Ivory sitting on the counter....
