It Started with a Wine Rack

Sometimes all it takes is a little wine and brain power.

That’s what happened on Valentine’s Day in 2014. We had completed a small remodel of our dining room, which included painting, updating the fireplace tile and replacing carpet with porcelain tile that looks like hardwood. We were shooting for decor that reminds us of the interiors you see in mansions in Telluride. We wanted a wine rack, but were unimpressed with the selection through the usual channels. So, we made one ourselves out of real walnut.

This wine rack, which doubles as a statement piece on the wall, was our first custom furniture project. Fast forward two years, and we have officially launched House of Henton (so now you can have your own!).
