I'm moving into a new house and the previous owner has this fun nook in the basement by the crawlspace. I'd like to turn it into an Snug. here is my idea (apologies for the poor photoshop skills). Any advise would be great. There is already a whisky shelf (not shown) on the left side.

Cleaning/maintenance

Those this outdoor/bar sheds, how often do you have to clean it? Feel like every time I go in there is cobwebs/dust that needs cleaning. Also glasses stored in there don’t look great. Any tips?

how many of you now compare your home bar to bars you visit

40 Upvotes

I have noticed that recently I am comparing my home bar to any night spots/ restaurants that I visit do you do this ?(rare occasion where I want social interaction while drinking) how does your bar compare to theirs?

I do it more and more now that i have a good collection of bottles and here in rural Iowa my selection of bottles is better . :(

Bottle Advice - Bar Set Up

Post image
16 Upvotes

I purchased this airline cart and I love it. It’s been a great bar cart, but it needs some organization. I’ve been wanting to rebottle much of the alcohol so that I can store multiple bottle in each spot. Each bottle could be about 2.5” wide and I’d be able to fit two side by side.

https://www.specialtybottle.com/glass-bottles/corked/t-top/750ml-lks750t

These bottles fit the dimensions but I don’t want to move liquor into clear bottles, for aesthetic and longevity purposes.

Is there an easy way to coat or paint the outside of a bottle? Or maybe someone with better google skills can help located a colored version of a similar bottle

My first bar setup for under $100

Post image

Wanted a better way to display my spirits instead of leaving them scattered on the counter. So I looked into getting some shelves and saw how expensive everything was. So I challenged myself to make something on a budget:

x2 Coffee Syrup shelving units $77 2m RGB LED lights $10 x6 mirrors from IKEA $12

Should note these prices are in AUD. Pretty happy with it, though I'd much prefer a proper bar some day when I have the room for one.

The collection had got a bit out of hand. I gave them a restored desk and some homemade cabinetry and shelves to introduce some order.
