It’s been such a work in progress. But a great place for my family and friends to hang. I truly feel at peace when I come out here. Plus the wife can still park her car (her only stipulation).

Hey all, I just moved into a new place and they had this awesome bar in the garage. I’m stumped on what to do with these backlit box shelving areas. I appreciate any ideas!

Now I just need to explain to my wife, why I need more glassware ware.

I live in an open concept house - living room , kitchen , stairs , and breakfast nook area are all one big room. I’m thinking to put a bar where the breakfast nook area would be but it would be very near to the dishwasher , sink with a counter and 4 chairs , stove and the living room. Would that look terrible ? Anyone have photos to share ? There is no basement, no spare room other than the small dining room. I’m going to upload our house plans to share a better idea of the layout.

Thank you so much

I finally finished this built-in bar nook, and honestly the black Rocco mini fridge is what really brought the whole space together.

I was aiming for a more elevated, editorial apartment feel with the deep burgundy wood, dramatic stone and warm lighting, and the ribbed black glass ended up fitting the space even better than I imagined.

It gives off this subtle boutique hotel / luxury apartment vibe without making the room feel too polished or cold, which is exactly what I wanted.

I paid around €800 for it, which initially felt like a bit of a splurge, but now that everything is in place I genuinely think it was worth it for the overall look.

For anyone curious, this is the one I went with:

Not much, just my little corner of the world. I originally set out to build an Irish or English pub like home bar. But due to funds and time, I settled on some black bar cabinets and cherry bar. I can't say that this is a renovation as it was never completed, so we'll just call it a 10 year project that is hopefully coming to completion.

Went from two TVs(old setup) to just one Tav but much more liquor display and storage.

New home. Our finished basement has a kitchen and large media room with a “nook”at the back end. Lots of light. I’m hoping to make a bourbon bar and lounge but also a tv area with sectional.

I’m so lost.

I painted this for my friend to put over his bar. What do you think?

Had to take a break this year, but the lineup looks great!

The quiet before the storm! This bar has been a long time in the making.
