This project is more than meets the eye! In an elegant neighborhood in Del Mar, San Diego, California, this unique small custom wine cellar truly acts as a showstopper. Originally within this house, the door which now faces outward used to be around the corner in a small hallway, virtually eliminating any visibility into this traditional walk-in custom wine cellar.

This traditional custom wine cellar is gorgeous and simple too. This wine cellar has already drawn you in from halfway across the room.
