The melting fridge is something else!
Thanks for visiting my blog :)

I think they also have cork floors? Love that post...very fun, especially the cork car. Now if only I could drink enough wine to make one!
Your blog is amazing , thank you very much for your lovely comment . Mad about cork, well my mum always put a coin inside the champagne cork. But i don't it could drink all that wine ...........! Just to collect the cork.LOL.
oh i have been collecting corks for years - thinking ill come up with an idea what to do with them!!
There are some great ones here!! :)
Hmm
Guess I should have been keeping all those corks over the years.Chardonay drinker that i am I'm pretty sure i could have made at least a chair by now. great post. k
I thought it was about a time for someone to come up with clever ideas - I was so ready to throw all mine away. Corks, that is, not ideas. Not so sure anymore...
And as a general comment, I really enjoy reading your blog!
whooowsa - that's a crazy cork post! the cork table actually is pretty cool. i like!
How on earth did you get that lot together. Well done, brilliant post.
I love that car! And that chair! And putting cork in plants! And that Warhol Pop art! This is a Wow Factor post!!
The baseboard is a smart idea. Might look good in my cellar!
Thanks for your comments on my posts...care to exchange links? I love your site!!
Wow, cudos on the coolest cork finds I have ever seen. I like the lamp, and the wall hanging.
This is too serendipitous! After opening a bottle of wine last night, I stood holding the cork, trying to brainstorm ways that I could reuse it. What a perfect post!
great collection of photos!
you have an innate ability to find the coolest stuff! i thoroughly enjoy your blog!!
those are fabulous ideas!
I should email you a photo of the cork backboard I made for my dartboard.
This is one of the most amazing posts i have ever come across!
Wonderful!! ....have been lookig for something different from the wall hangings I've made with my corks...still have boxes of them and I know now some of the ideas I will be following. Thanks!!!

Thanks so much for all the great ideas! I have a container that I've been filling up with corks for a while...I've been thinking of a corkboard or a trivet, but now I have some more options to consider!
Came here due to a post over at BoingBoing,Fantastimundo!
Wow! Finally, something to do with all these corks. Besides the corks we "earn" ourselves, everyone in our family gives us corks. We have drawfuls and bagfuls and potfuls...
Cool ideas! Do you know where I can find a wine bar like the one in the picture? Thanks.
Wow, these are fantastic; I am so doing that baseboard!!!
Everything is wonderful!
Greats ideas!
Great ideas...but has anyone read 'Cork Boat' - 165,321 corks =1 boat. John Pollack built it from collected & donated corks & sailed down the Douro River in Portugal...now THAT'S a project.
oohlala! Just found this post while looking for examples of walls done with corks. Have been schlepping around an extensive cork collection for years and am now suitably inspired to proceed with creating something.
Thanks!
