Elevate your wine experience with these meticulously curated glass selections.
During the architectural design process of my home, I knew I needed a dedicated fur closet to house my mother’s cherished collection of fur and mink coats. Naturally, if I was going to have a fur closet, a temperature-controlled wine room felt like the perfect complement. Our architect, Dwayne from The Front Door, brought this vision to life, crafting a wine room and fur closet combo that exceeded my wildest dreams. These thoughtful design choices are just one way I’ve embraced a luxurious lifestyle—discover more of my tips and inspirations on Michelle Norwood Living.
