When we began the project we tore out the carpet and scored and stained the dirty concrete floors (from the old shop). To stain a concrete floor it doesn’t need to be perfect. Sometimes the more stained and distressed the better!
My husband added some old beams to give the space more character. My husband has used old barn beams in his custom homes for over 25 years. We made the mirror from old ceiling tiles and added this console from Brazil

The door to the actual cellar was a reject from a job. Steve had the top panel removed, old glass installed, and the grate was made by local artisan Bob Signorello.
What a charming, warm and delightful place to entertain. Love it! And how lucky you are to have a handy husband!
Cindy I absolutely love your wine cellar! It is always so interesting to hear about how a room evolves! Adore Lisa, she is a bright light in our blog world!

Cindy this space is truly so dreamy, thank you so much for sharing it on Shine Home Love!! It was such a treat to see and hear about where it started!!
This room is a beautiful unique design. Have never seen another like it! So inviting, which is a characteristic of your designs. John Granen's photos are beautiful too.
What a fantastic renovation! Love it. What a wonderful use of that space and so charming.
I love a good story. It is hard to believe this was a workshop, than a workout room. IT looks like a wonderful place to spend an evening.
A REAL WINE ROOM?!?!

Cindy,
I love this room. The size and design makes it an inviting space for all kinds of celebrations. The beams and the door make the room seem like it could be part of a historical winery.

Thank you so much for this beautiful post!!! The wrought iron on the door is amazing. All so Rough Luxe!
Wow! is all i can say…your home looks dreamy and definitely magazine worthy. Love Lisa's blog too 🙂
Oh Cindy, Tuscan Style magazine front cover worthy.
It's an amazing space and so much beauty and soul of the countryside you gave it.
Loving the cellar door, as well as the cabinetry…the beams and windows were perfect finishing touches to the room, as for the header beam over the door of to wine keep it really make that doorway perfect.
I know pictures do not always do a room justice, to see this room up close and so personally sure takes ones breath away without a doubt.
Thank you for a beautiful share. Perhaps a metal street walk sign hanging outside the door wall would be another great move in advertising the village cellar in your very own back yard.

Wow, you and Steve have made a simple garage into a room with wonderful ambience! What a wonderful and luxurious addition it would be to any home.
Cindy! The room is positively gorgeous. I love every beautiful detail. I am so jealous that you have your cocktail in there before dinner. Have a great week.
