REVEL Picks: For The Home

Posted by Lindsey Oct 5, 2012 at 8:00 am

When it was time for my husband Quinn and I to register for our new apartment, we had a million questions. What did we want our style to be? Was our home going to have a modern loft feel or go vintage chic? Did we want bright colors or timeless neutrals?

We finally decided on what I'd call a Modern Classic look. Neutrals of grey and slate blue set the tone with wood accents and pops of sunny yellow. Over a year later our tiny apartment is our cozy first home complete with a cuddly rescue cat named Oscar!

One of our favorite pieces we registered for was a wood wine rack like this one from Macy's! It's decorative and made of sturdy, walnut-stained hardwood. Great for the countertop or stacking from floor to ceiling.
