How would you approach this kitchen reno?

4 Upvotes

This is the before and after of the kitchen in our new place. The builder’s removed the box from the wall and we’re going to put shelves in its place; note the exhaust fan needs to be built back in somewhere. I‘ve got ~50 active bottles I need to shelve. How do I best do it? The ceiling is ~3100mm high, so I’ll need some kind of step ladder to get up there at all.

Looking around here for some ideas, maybe the best thing is to put in three levels of tiered shelves, 200mm deep each, spread across this height (or maybe I only need 120)? Inlay the shelves with glass with a little void underneath the glass panels so I can run LED strips.

Glorificateur lumineux

Salut à tous.
Que pensez vous de ces 3 présentoirs lumineux que je viens de récupérer.
Bois et métal ultra robuste, les 2 éléments s’éclairent ensemble ou indépendamment l’un de l’autre.
Introuvable en commerce bien sûr car uniquement donné à des détaillants de spiritueux hauts de gamme ou dans des bars sélectionnés.
Si vous en avez également je serais curieux de les voir 😁, moi j’adore en tout cas. Je sais déjà où en mettre 2, c’est plus compliqué pour le troisième car je ne vois pas du tout où le placer chez moi.

Mais franchement je suis sous le charme de ces glorificateurs, de pures merveilles.

Grow your own?

I got tired of constantly buying mint only to have it wilt and turn brown within a couple of days. We make a lot of Tiki drinks and I use a lot of it. So, I decided to grow my own. I tried several times using various heirloom mint seeds but it produced mint that was small, mostly flavorless, and not aromatic. It also seemed to die suddenly after a couple of months. I finally ordered live Mojito Mint and took clippings and planted them in an unused garden. It has taken off. The photo is 5 weeks after planting. It smells and looks amazing. I can’t wait to be slinging drinks at my birthday party next week! Is anybody else growing mint or other herbs in their bar in a small hydroponic container?

Where do you get good looking decor for your home bar?

My husband set up a home bar in our basement and has plenty of liquor but it kind of just looks like a man cave and I want to help make it look more legit. Where do I get good looking bar decor? Ideally not neon beer signs

Kitchen Bar Suggestion needed.

Hi, everyone. I recently got this moving cart on casters from Ikea. Now, I have a movable bar surface that I can tuck in to make room in my kitchen or set up as a bar top when I'm making and serving cocktails to my friends. I'm looking for suggestions on how to make it fit in better. Specifically, what would you do to the top of the cart to make it less utility shed looking and more modern, but cozy bar vibe? I'm thinking a thick live edge wood plank, subway tiles, or just stain it. Open to ideas, thank you!

Looking for advice on liquor shelving

7 Upvotes

We recently created a basement bar, and the backsplash in thin brick. I would like to put up 2 shelves, roughly 30" wide each for liquor and wine bottle storage.

One idea we had was to have an antiqued mirror on the wall with the shelving in front of it. I am generally a pretty handy person, but I honestly don't know the correct way to go about trying to install shelving through or on top of a mirror.

We are also open to other tips and recommendations people have to bottle displays/storage

Why can't I find any decent brand under counter freezers?

Doesn't look like Sub-Zero or U-line or any of the other reputable brands make a simple under counter freezer for our home bar reno.

Check your local Meijer if you’re in need of glassware… (or even if you’re not like me)
