A wooden planter is a great way of creating a bed to grow plants and vegetables in if you are short of space. Your wooden planter can be adapted to fit any corner, depending on your needs. And as it's made of pressure-treated timber it can be stained in any colour and won't rot.

Successfully growing herbs is not limited to an outdoor garden or veggie patch. The beauty of growing herbs is that they can be grown almost anywhere, including indoors in pots or containers. They can be grown on your window sill, in window boxes (indoor or outdoor) or in hanging baskets in your patio.

Growing herbs in pots or containers is no more difficult than growing herbs in an outdoor area or garden. Indoor herb gardens however do need similar growing conditions as herbs that are grown in the garden. Sunlight, soil and water are the three main ingredients that all plants need to grow successfully. Whether plants are grown indoors or in a garden, herbs are no exception. Sunlight is vital to growing any type of plant including herbs. Herbs grown in a kitchen or any other room in your home should be placed in a position where they will receive the best kind of sunlight.

Wine Steward Console Table

This wine console looks like it once lived in a trattoria in Italy. Use it as a station for light appetizers and wine. When guests arrive, they can pour themselves a glass while you put the finishing touches on the risotto. Place some light noshes on the table along with wine and people will gather and get to know each other. Three drawers for storing wine openers and cocktail napkins, and 25 bottles of wine storage underneath. Durable shesham wood with an antique patina finish. Sold at NapaStyle

Double Stave Wine Rack

History repeats: What once held wine holds wine again. Using reclaimed oak staves from California wine barrels, artisans connect these parallel racks with five rust-finished iron cradles. Finished with a light protective lacquer in beautiful mahogany tone with two brackets on back for wall mounting. Holds five bottles.

Sold at NapaStyle, if you don't want to make one your self.
